Refuge Visual Effects

I love when a team enjoys working together enough to screw around in their off time! Nice work Matt, it’s fun to see you working on this.

It’s a bird! It's a plane! It's a wrap for Refuge on Superman and Lois! What an absolute privilege to have been a part of the team for 3 years, 4 seasons, and 741 shots. A huge and heartfelt thank you to visual effects supervisor Matthew Gore, and showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher for the opportunity to have been a part of such an incredible project. From the very first shot to the very last, it has been a truly incredible journey bringing the world of Clark Kent and Lois Lane to life. This series may be ending, but Superman's legacy will live on for years to come.

So proud of the team at Refuge for pulling through the mountain of work that was Shogun. Kyle Rottman's dedication and hard work were instrumental in our success. Special thanks to Michael Cliett for inviting us to the party. Great job, of bringing home the Emmy! #TeamWork #Success #Emmys
