The invisible effects of ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’

June 5, 2024

Go behind the scenes of the VFX of the show.

Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re talking to Lawmen: Bass Reeves visual effects supervisor Jon Massey. This Western mini-series is one where VFX certainly comes in, in an invisible way, with set extensions, and effects to match the period. I also asked Jon in particular about the opening civil war battle in the show, and how practical effects and digital were both used for explosions, canon fire and blood hits.
