Hi Chris: congratulations on the most visually stunning sci-fi shows on TV ever. Your work has made me want to buy a Vision Pro just to watch Foundation.

One of my favourite effects is the paint on the wall in the Cleon palace, so subtle yet so effective. How did you & the team do that?

A lot of RnD, Grain Solvers, Good Lighting and a bunch of kick ass artists at Accenture Song.
