Despite the death of her friend and an apparent conspiracy on her hands, it was business as usual for Elizabeth as she juggled her professional and home life with husband Henry (Tim Daly) and their three kids. Throughout the first season of Madam Secretary, Elizabeth dealt with everything from the release of American hostages in Syria and an Edward Snowden type whistleblower to the Greek economical crisis and an American religious death cult in Bolivia.
Hall: It was so much fun having Morgan direct the season premiere. He had great enthusiasm for the story and a strong point of view about how to tell it. Everyone loved working with him.
Legion's team has been called on to create over 140 of the CBS show's most complex visual effects over the last three seasons: from CG environments built from the ground up that transport the live-action to locations throughout the world, to technically challenging effects designed to elevate the visual impact of creator, writer, showrunner Barbara Hall's hit dramatic political series.
During season 5, Legion simulated a crowd of hundreds of people that augmented original footage of displaced Syrians. When the producer realized that the numbers didn't reflect the massive scale of the Syrians making the trek to the Turkish border, the VFX company stepped in to create a digital motion-capture sequence that dramatically bulked up the number of refugees. 041b061a72
