REALTIME team up with Codemasters for F1 23 ‘Braking Point 2’

Two years after the critically acclaimed F1® 2021, we have teamed up with our old friends at Codemasters once again for the eagerly anticipated F1® 2023 Braking Point 2. Our team crafted over fifty minutes of in-game cinematics using the latest in-engine solution and state-of-the-art performance capture tools.

Braking Point 2 allows players to immerse themselves in a compelling racing story that gives a unique peek behind the curtain of the world of Formula One. The story revolves again around rival drivers Aiden Jackson and Devon Butler, but with the added twist of them being teammates for the newly formed Konnersport Butler Racing Team, alongside a new female driver, Callie Mayer.

REALTIME was tasked with creating cutscenes that ranged from emotional character performances right through to on-track action, featuring intense races and high-speed collisions.

“The visual fidelity we were able to achieve this time around was a huge step up from F1 2021. Everything from the lighting to the skin shaders and facial animation, we advanced every single element of our render quality.” Says Ian Jones, CG Director. 

REALTIME Appointed Lead VFX Vendor on ITV X Historical Drama, ‘The Winter King’

Following on from our wonderful collaboration on Sky’s ‘A Discovery of Witches’, REALTIME are teaming up once again with Bad Wolf as the lead VFX vendor on ITV’s upcoming Historical Drama, ‘The Winter King’.   

Jonathan Rawlinson, executive producer at REALTIME, said: “We are delighted to be working again with Bad Wolf on ‘The Winter King’ as the sole vendor on the series. We have provided on-set VFX Supervision and Production support and we are creating a wide range of VFX to help bring to life this exciting re-imagining of the Arthurian Legends” 

Based on Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles, THE WINTER KING is an epic but intimate 10-part returning series which will shoot in Wales and the West Country in 2022. Portraying a revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legends, the series follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast son to legendary warrior and leader. The Winter King is set in the 5th century, long before Britain was united, in a land of warring factions and tribes when the world was brutal and lives were often fleeting.  

Produced by Bad Wolf in association with One Big Picture and distributed by Sony Pictures Television, The Winter King has been commissioned for ITVX by Head of Drama, Polly Hill. Polly will oversee the commission on behalf of the channel. Kate Brooke and Ed Whitmore will adapt Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles and Executive Produce alongside Otto Bathurst who will be the lead director and Executive Produce with Toby Leslie.  Executive Producers are Julie Gardner, Lachlan MacKinnon, Sherry Marsh, Shelley Browning and Kenneth Browning and the drama is produced by Catrin Lewis Defis.
