The Favourite

Invisible Visual Effects

There was only one goal to achieve on The Favourite: Invisible VFX. We sure think we achieved that goal and the film went on to garner mass success, including 10 Academy Awards nominations.

In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne, and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead, while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees a chance to return to her aristocratic roots.

Our own Ed Bruce acted as the production VFX supervisor and SSVFX delivered all VFX for the film.
