Asuha and Ganz are moving back to Singapore.
Not to slow down.
To expand.

Asia-Pacific is next and we’re marking it the only way that makes sense:
𝟯𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝟯𝟬 𝗩𝗙𝗫 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.
Some of them even had their composites done by former students of Ganz and Andrew.

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟴: 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯–𝟮𝟰)
Shot in and around 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗕.𝗖.., with the show pioneering 𝗜𝗟𝗠’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿, about a 95-foot wall inside a 20,000-sq-ft facility. Roughly 30% of the season was captured on the volume; the crew “never left” the Vancouver area.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?
First series to use ILM’s Vancouver StageCraft volume.

DP Pierre Gill tested 50+ lenses before committing to shoot so the LED plates would light actors for real (not just as backgrounds).

Sets and locations ranged from Mammoth Studios (Burnaby) to city landmarks, then extended digitally to sell myth at TV pace.

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻:
Build the horizon you need.
Shoot it like it was always there.
