THE MIDWIFE II | TV FEATURE FILM
The plot of “The Midwife II” takes place a few years after the first film and draws Gesa even deeper into the world of medicine and its sometimes gruesome historical development. Focal point is the old General Hospital in Vienna, the origins of which date back to 1693 and which today exists in a modified form. For the purposes of the film, the Disability Wing in Prague was transformed by means of elaborate props in the time-honored Viennese hospital.

VFX work included computer-generated set extensions with green screens, day/ night match-cuts, matte paintings, CGI city establishers, CGI hospital buildings amongst others.
