When visual effects function as a character in their own right – like The Rip from Netflix’s Sherlock Holmes series The Irregulars – on-set productions can’t rely solely on concept art to visualize effects.
In the case of The Rip, Nviz provided extensive previsualization and AR virtual production, using Ncam real-time camera tracking, to give the on-set team complete control over the gateway’s final result.

In the story, the Rip grows, causing the cave to be bathed in blue light… With AR, we could fully understand and prep the lighting on set, and the effects that were based around it.
