The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

MPC Paris supported all three seasons of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon with realistic VFX seamlessly integrated into the live-action footage shot in France. For Season 1, the studio created French post-apocalyptic environments, extending urban sets, beaches, and ruins with crowds of walkers and devastated atmospheres. Season 2, Le Livre de Carol, involved around 40 artists working on over 190 shots, combining urban extensions, special walkers, and atmospheric effects to strengthen the French visual identity of the apocalypse. Season 3 focused on more than 60 shots for a sea sequence, featuring simulated water, digital skies, and stormy horizons to fully immerse the characters in isolation. Altogether, the work demonstrates a progression in environmental scale and a sophisticated blend of live-action and digital worlds.

Dracula: A Love Tale

For Luc Besson’s film Dracula, MPC Paris handled the VFX production over six months. The team delivered 656 VFX shots, including around ten fully CG shots. The project began in January 2024 with a prep phase led by Laurent Creusot, the film’s overall digital VFX supervisor. Drawing on 30 years of experience, he ensured the director’s vision was faithfully translated on screen. No fewer than 162 professionals—artists and technicians—were involved, with VFX production overseen by Nicolas Nepveu and Alice Neichols.

The Nun II

For The Nun II, our Paris and Bangalore teams delivered over 70 VFX shots in just over nine months, creating spine-chilling sequences like the newsstand scene and immersing viewers in the stunning digital recreation of southern France.

Cold Storage

Decades ago, a highly infectious and constantly mutating microorganism—capable of extinction-level destruction—was contained in a military facility. Today, the army has sealed the lowest basement and sold the remaining space to a self-storage company. As the underground temperature rises, the microorganism finds a way to escape. If left unchecked, it could soon multiply uncontrollably across the globe. Humanity’s fate now rests on a retired bioterrorism agent and two unlikely heroes working at the facility, racing against time to destroy the organism and save the world… Coming February.

Troll 2

Roar Uthaug’s film arrives on Netflix on December 1, 2025. When a new dangerous troll awakens and wreaks havoc in Norway, Nora, Andreas, and Captain Kris must embark on their most perilous mission yet.

The Carpenter’s Son

MPC teams spent six months creating 125 VFX shots to bring this biblical horror story to life, under the supervision of Hugues Namur, with Laurence Hoeters on VFX production, Barthélémy Beaux Beaux as 2D supervisor, and Ryan Bardoul as 3D supervisor at MPC Liège.

Halloween at MPC Paris highlights our teams’ expertise in crafting dark, supernatural, and gory worlds. Whether through fully digital environments, hybrid creatures, or complex simulations, each project demonstrates how technical mastery and creative vision combine to produce credible, immersive visuals. This rigorous approach brings fantasy and horror to life on screen, delivering a striking visual experience for audiences.
