Dark Crystal

What we did

To support post-production on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the team at Gravity House on Frith Street, London, provided 12 offline edit suites and four visual effects rooms, with shared storage and edit support. The client also used Gravity House for its post-production office.

What we used

Post Production Supervisor Karen Payne (Star Wars: Rogue One; X-Men: First Class) brought the show’s production team to Gravity House, where they set up shop in our first-floor cutting rooms for a number of weeks. Originally scheduled to complete in March 2019, the team extended their stay until the end of July, thanks to highly complex VFX work. The team also hired further Avid Pro Tools equipment to provide additional dialogue record.

Outcome

A prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson film of the same name, The Dark Crystal is a Netflix Original sci-fi/fantasy series that sees a group of brave Gelfling unite on a quest to save their world from power-hungry overlords hell-bent on draining life from the planet Thra.
