Air date: Jul 14, 2020

Today on War Stories Ars Technica is joined by Hisko Hulsing, director and production designer of the Amazon original series “Undone.” The award-winning animator breaks down how he and his team achieved the show’s unique look, taking footage of actors shot on a soundstage and transforming them into impressionistic dreamscapes. Combining modern digital techniques like projection mapping with environments handcrafted in oil paints, “Undone” represents a new apex in Hikso Hulsing’s craft and a new frontier in cutting-edge, adult animation.
