GEN V | RSVFX Empowers the Next Generation of Superheroes
Emmy nominated boutique visual effects studio @rocketsciencevfx creates complex fluid simulations and fx to empower the lead character, Marie Moreau, and other young Superheros in GEN V, Amazon’s BOYS universe spinoff.
The RSVFX team lead by VFX Supervisor Adam Jewett and VFX Producer Florent Villegas was brought on to develop and execute Marie’s hemokinetic superpower. Jordan’s blast, tiny Emma and additional supporting visual effects were also provided with over 250 shots delivered.
“Our task was to make her power look rigid enough to feel contained and be used as a weapon, while fluid enough to feel like real blood.” Adam Jewett, VFX Supervisor. “Keeping a balance of rigidness and liquidity simultaneously required a lot of tweaking to work cohesively.”
Master Chief leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. He embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction — the Halo.

"Rocket Science really leaned into those VFX simulations to really get a kind of temperature and almost like a little bit of a motivation and a little bit of personality to her power over time." - Karen Heston, Overall VFX Supervisor, GEN V
