post #13- Supernatural
Supernatural is an American drama/horror television series starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, brothers who hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal.
Though companies were hired for work on the pilot episode—such as Entity FX for the visual effects effects departments now work exclusively for the series. Ivan Hayden is the visual effects supervisor, and works with many levels of the production staff. During pre-production, Hayden must go through the scripts, looking for possible visual effects. He then has a concept meeting with the writers, and after settling on the effect designs to use, coordinates with the special effects and stunt departments. Hayden is also present during filming to help the director make sure that the scenes are being filmed in the best way for the visual effects, such as by ensuring that the actors are looking at the correct location where an effect will later be added. Afterward, he then meets with the editors. Another aspect of the visual effects department is coming up with rules and physics for each supernatural creature, though the rules are often bent if it benefits the story.
Supernatural uses a ariety of special effects depending upon the story arc, deaon, and physics the creators put into the episodes. Below are some examples:

Hey,
Love this show first of all!
The visual effects is what makes this show a sight to see! The different tricks they use to give a character a creepy look is unique. It is always fun to watch how the process of special effects take so long to plan out and make realistic.
Because the show is about monster and deons I think it is pretty neat that they work extra hard to give it the “supernatural” look. Making it different from various other sci-fi movies or shows.
Thanks so muhc for posting this!
