The making of: Those About to Die

February 24, 2025 • 2 minute read

We’re excited to share our new in-depth look at the virtual production work that Dimension & DNEG 360 provided on Roland Emmerich's Peacock / Amazon Prime series Those About to Die.

In this making of video, the show's cast and crew detail how our advanced virtual production approach helped the show achieve authentic epic visuals like a 3D realtime build of Ancient Rome and how it enhanced creativity and authenticity on-set.

The BTS look features producer/director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) and VFX Supervisor Pete Travers and Dimension's Executive Producer Steve Jelley. It also sees the cast including Sir Anthony Hopkins (Vespasian), Iwan Rheon (Tenax), Gabriella Pession (Antonia), Moe Hasmin (Kwame), and Jojo Macari (Domitianus Flavianus) talking about their experience working with virtual production.
