Two influencers find themselves on a luxury cruise through the Caribbean and South Pacific. But as the mirage of their online personas starts clashing with their real-life ambitions, a battle of wills threatens to tear them apart. (IMDb)

Foxtrot X-Ray created 70+ VFX shots for Amazon Prime’s Sugar, including screen comps, cleanup gunfire, cruise ship rebranding, digital beauty and more. Since Sugar filmed on location on a Carnival Freedom cruise ship in the Caribbean, we were responsible for removing and replacing all liveries and branding associated with Carnival Cruises. Sugar also engaged in firearm safe set practices and relied on us to add muzzle flashes to all the guns. Additionally due to the nature of the film being around social media, naturally we completed plenty of screen replacements as well.

VFX was used to keep everyone on set safe with firearms. Learn more about firearm safety on a film set here.
