Want to savor that thrilling spy-feeling you had when watching KLEO with Jella Haase? The conception and world building of authentic but not necessarily historically accurate locations in 1980’s Berlin, Spain and Chile will be illuminated by Pascal Bußmann and Matthias Backmann (LAVAlabs). Together they will explain how they realised around 450 VFX shots within a year, from pre-production to the final shot.

In the first season of this Netflix Series we see the former GDR assassin "Kleo" on her vendetta. Looking for answers about her imprisonment around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, she is constantly on the move while killing people in the most creative ways. Matthias Backmann and Pascal Bußmann will show you how they turned german offsite sets into sunny Chile, Spain or the other way around. Kleo´s perspective of the early nineties shows this world as it felt during that time period and not how it would be historically correct: From the famous Berlin wall to an U.F.O. coming from "Sirius B", LAVAlabs helped to show the sets and characters from a new perspective. And similar to Kleo's precise assassination planning, creating the VFX needed detailed preparation, focussed on-set supervision and efficient work to deliver the final shot.
