What does the 1899 series offer?
The series chronicles what happens on a steamship carrying immigrants leaving the old continent from London and heading west to New York. It unites travelers from all over Europe with hopes and dreams about the new century and their future abroad.
Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they find another migrant ship drifting offshore. What they find on this ship turns their passage to the promised land into a terrifying nightmare.
The production team used a technology called The Volume for the visual effects, and it’s quite similar to the Unreal Engine-based closed wall technique used in filming The Mandalorian. Since it coincided with the pandemic period, The Volume also relaxed the shooting team’s hand.
