The Yard at SATIS 2025
This year, The Yard is proud to join the conversation as Harry Bardak, VFX Supervisor and Fabian Nowak, Head of FX and FX Supervisor will present the behind-the-scenes VFX craft of Étoile, the Prime Video series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino. Set between Paris and New York, Étoile immerses viewers in the world of professional ballet. To bring this universe to life, The Yard designed hundreds of invisible visual effects: from photorealistic sets and seamless environment extensions to a breathtaking one-shot sequence at sea.
The upcoming conference will take audiences into the hidden workshop of VFX—from on-set preparation to digital creation—where technology serves storytelling and emotion. Attendees will discover how precise artistic and technical choices elevate reality, creating immersive images that support the narrative while preserving the magic of cinema.
Save the date for November 5th and join us to learn more about the craft behind the series !
We’re looking forward to meeting with you at 3pm in the Agora 1 conference room !
