The futuristic dystopia of Apple TV Plus’ “See” is a world in which the population, or at least 99.99% of it, is blind. The first season begins centuries after a virus swept the globe, killing most in its wake but leaving the rest without sight, only to pass that trait down to future generations. The show was filmed in Vancouver, a very well-known backdrop for today’s television audiences. In order to fully enhance the world, visual-effects supervisor Adrian de Wet and his team utilized approximately 3,000 effects shots, in addition to some of the stunts between warring society factions the Payan Kingdom and those who live in the forest within the world of the show.

“We had thousands upon thousands of eyes to adjust, which made it really hard,” visual effects supervisor Adrian de Wet says about the omnipresent visual effect in the post-apocalyptic drama “See,” which begins after humanity has been blind for six centuries. “Each person’s pupils had to be hand-tracked, hand-drawn over and the detail had to be preserved in each one of them,” adds visual effects producer Eve Fizzinoglia in their exclusive interview with Gold Derby (watch the video above) about the debut season of the Apple TV+ series starring Jason Momoa and Alfre Woodard. “Everyone was given a unique look because we preserved the eye color of everybody,” de Wet continues, noting that their task was amplified by the high resolution of the Alexa 65 cameras used and that they even had to replace filmed eyes with three-dimensional models in closer shots to avoid a parallax effect.
