How Vine FX recreated final hours of Pompeii and Herculaneum for Pompeii: Out of Time
Posted on October 15, 2026 in Visual Effects
In this breakdown video, Vine FX reveals how it recreated the final hours of Pompeii and Herculaneum for National Geographic’s Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston.
Delivering 58 VFX shots across the series, Vine FX recreated ancient cities, extended practical locations and developed complex volcanic simulations, including ash, pyroclastic flows, volcanic bombs and atmospheric effects, helping to visualise the final moments of one of the world’s most studied archaeological events.
