Case Study: Netflix brings The Crown Season Three to life with Foundry Nuke

Netflix brings 95% of VFX work through Nuke with Foundry

The customer, Netflix, faced the challenge of creating historically accurate and seamless visual effects for the period drama *The Crown*, requiring extensive compositing work to extend sets, remove modern elements, and recreate pivotal events without the VFX being noticeable. The vendor Foundry provided its node-based compositing tool, Nuke, which was central to the production's pipeline.

Foundry's solution enabled Netflix's in-house team and multiple external vendors to collaborate efficiently using Nuke as their primary tool, ensuring consistency and high quality across all VFX work. The results were a critically acclaimed season that earned numerous award nominations, with VFX so seamless they often went entirely unnoticed by viewers, successfully bringing a regal slice of history to life.
