My first project in Vancouver, for AnthemFX, the company that brought me to Canada. They’re sadly long gone, but they threw amazing parties…

Sanctuary skyline 1
London skyline for the final sequence of Episode 1, seen from the rooftops of Victoria embankment. Time was meant to be around 1900 – and unusually for an aggressive TV schedule, I had the time for some historical research. Blackfriars bridge is on the left, and straight ahead is what is now the ‘OXO’ tower.
Sanctuary skyline 2
Another angle of the London rooftops, with St. Pauls Cathedral in the far background.

Sanctuary skyline 3
London Skyline reverse angle. I didn’t realise how defocused the final shot was going to be, and put in a ton of detail that was never seen. Base building geometry by Remo Weiland.
Sanctuary lotus headquarters
Lotus Defense Corps Headquarters from Ep. 2 ‘Uprising’.
Architecture of the main buildings is loosely based on the old ‘Apple’ campus.
Sanctuary graveyard
Graveyard DMP for Will’s vision in Episode 6.
Sanctuary Icebreaker
Establishing matte paintings of the eponymous ‘Icebreaker’ in Episode 7, stranded in the Bering Sea. Base renders of the ship were provided, and the surrounding icebergs were scattered in Vue.
Sanctuary Software
When I started, Anthem had one very old license of Vue, but were kind enough to upgrade it for me, and I made VERY heavy use of it during my time there.
Icebreaker dawn
Icebreaker at dawn (the ‘hopeful’ shot at the end of the episode). I don’t think this made the final cut.
Arctic panorama
Cyclorama for all the icebreaker interior shots
Sanctuary hotel
Concept for the Buenos Aires hotel in Episode 10 ‘Acolyte’
