Spartacus: Gods of the Arena was a massive green screen production, shot across various sets in Auckland, New Zealand. As VFX Art Director, my role was to bridge the gap between production design and VFX, ensuring that the series’ digital environments felt seamless, immersive, and historically authentic.
My primary goal was to push the realism beyond Season 1, refining the visual world-building of the series. Each episode required extensive look development, which I presented to Producing Director Rick Jacobson, Executive Producer Rob Tapert, and Producer Chloe Smith to ensure narrative and stylistic cohesion.
