Brief Complete conform, grade and VFX, and deliver the 8 x 60-minute drama about a shanty town in the Yorkshire Dales that springs up around the construction of a railway viaduct in the 1870s.

How it was done The brief for the grade was ‘cinematic Western’, with good S-curve contrast enhancing the breath-taking landscape. Colourist Thomas Urbye, using the Quantel Rio, controlled the look of the countryside, pushing it towards a sunburned shade.

Costumes were saturated but kept pastel, while skin tones were allowed to maintain a warm feel without ever appearing too bronzed. The VFX work included the building of a full CGI viaduct and set extensions. Maya, Nuke and Fusion were used. Mark Maltby did the online, Alexis Haggar was VFX supervisor and Dan Marbrook produced.
