Description

In the latest fxguide podcast, we speak with Kevin Lingenfelser, VFX Supervisor on Netflix’s Man on Fire, about the large-scale visual effects work behind the series, including the epic building collapse, the rubble aftermath, and the high-energy Learjet fight and landing sequence.

Kevin joined the project in May 2024. The series was originally planned as eight episodes across four production blocks, later consolidated into seven episodes in post. As Kevin explains in the podcast, the first block carried a major visual effects load, establishing the scale and danger of the show from the outset.
