ZELDA AND THE HUB ARE MADE FOR LOVE

The team played the VFX high notes in the captivating series, Solos. This anthology series that streams on Amazon Prime Video, takes place in different time periods. Amazon VFX Executives partnered with our team on 512 shots that include green orb, CG pool, twins and floating chalk.

“As each episode is essentially its own standalone short film, you’d think that each director would really vary wildly in style and approach, as there’s no set guidebook or guardrails as there is on an episodic. But that wasn’t the case with Solos. Our visual effects, sets and lighting were a backdrop for some of the world’s best actors to give incredibly moving performances to incredibly moving scripts.”

—Matthew Poliquin, Executive Producer, Ingenuity Studios

Ingenuity Studios Executive Producer Matthew Poliquin reflects on how Ingenuity helped navigate different time periods and execute key VFX shots including a green orb, CG pool, twins and floating chalk for Amazon Studios' anthology series Solos.
