Time Bandits

Embark on a comedic, high-stakes journey through time and space with Time Bandits, an Apple TV+ adaptation of the 1981 cult classic film directed by Terry Gilliam.

The show’s premise, with bandits time-hopping through eras and locations as diverse as 1920s New York and Ice Age, was a perfect fit for virtual production.

Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Dimension and DNEG 360’s team was responsible for content creation (for previsualisation and in-camera VFX) and on-set operation of the LED volume.

Our content creation team used a combination of scanning and Unreal Engine to create stunning scenes such as the Ice Age, a Mayan village, and a recreation of Stonehenge.

Virtual production proved to be a creatively empowering tool for Waititi, Morris, and Clement, providing the flexibility and adaptability essential to the project’s evolving script and story. Time Bandits is available to watch on Apple TV+ now.
