“If you see the opening title, you see just echoes of people,” explains Morten Tyldum about the mystery that imbues every level of the behemoth silo structure that sustains thousands of human beings in a post-apocalyptic world. For our recent webchat he adds, “you see these are ghostly people walking around, and that is the idea that humanity doesn’t really matter, it is the silo that endures.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

In “Silo,” the last 10,000 people on Earth are living in a gargantuan concrete silo a mile underground, supposedly keeping them safe from the destroyed and dangerous post-apocalyptic world outside. No one knows when or why the silo was built and anyone who asks too many questions gets in serious trouble.

Updated with video: Before VFX supervisor Daniel Rauchwerger began his work on Apple TV+’s Silo, he was told the actual silo should be treated like a character — not a massive structure where 10,000 people are forced to live.
“The design was one open space, so very quickly, we treated it as one room,” Rauchwerger, whose credits include Inception and John Carter, said at Deadline’s Visual Effects + Screen event. “Every time you look up, down and sideways, you see the next room. One of the main things that became a challenge was bringing all those people to life, just living their lives.”
Based on Hugh Howey’s trilogy of dystopian novels, Silo is the story of the last 10,000 people on Earth, whose mile-deep home protects them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built, and any who try to find out face fatal consequences.

“We kind of live in Candy Mountain on Foundation, because visual effects have such an important role in the show,” said VFX supervisor Chris MacLean at Apple TV+ and Deadline’s Visual Effects + Screen event.
MacLean has been with the series for more than four years, back when he was working on the first season. “When we started on Season 1, we started with real space,” he says. “We wanted it to be more realistic. Then, we started looking at [Isaac] Asimov covers and tried to bring a little more color into the world.”
MacLean said production is done on Season 2, and he alluded to the strong possibility of a third season (it should be noted that Apple has not yet greenlit a Season 3).
Although visual effects play an important role in the series, MacLean says the most important job is to “make sure everybody doesn’t pay attention to what we’re doing.
