The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon S2

Client

season 2

Two weeks after choosing to save Laurent and stay in France for the time being, Daryl trains the boy in fighting the undead and clashes with Losang about his more violent ways compared to the Union of Hope’s pacifism. Daryl struggles with a feeling of not belonging and missing those that he left behind in America.

 

The film & series teams at The Mill, previously MPC Paris teams, are proud to have contributed to the creation of over 192 VFX shots for Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, now available on AMC & AMC+ in the U.S. and on Paramount+ in France!

For Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Mill delivered a large-scale post-production image work across 192 shots, contributing extensively to the show’s apocalyptic world-building. The majority of the work focused on environment creation and enhancement, supporting the bleak, decayed atmosphere of the series, while additional work covered FX elements such as wounds, blood simulations, and zombie-related effects to reinforce the intensity and realism of the action.

A team of 40 artists worked for seven months to bring this world to life, under the supervision of Sébastien Fauchère with VFX production led by Nicolas Nepveu. Their combined efforts helped reanimate this post-apocalyptic universe with precision, craft, and scale, embodying The Mill’s commitment to delivering creative work designed to scale.
