Midway through post-production on Tyler Perry's Ruthless Season 6, Origin Point Productions was brought in to support Tyler Perry Studios on complex visual effects sequences that required specialized solutions. What began as a focused assignment quickly expanded as additional shots were entrusted to our team throughout the remainder of the season.

The work spanned a wide range of effects, including blood and gore simulations, a fully CG whip for an extended whipping sequence, large-scale fire effects featuring a fully engulfed running character, screen replacements with custom motion graphics, and multiple digital double sequences. One of the season's most technically challenging shots involved replacing a live actor with a CG digi double to execute a photoreal beheading, complete with animation, compositing, and simulated blood effects. Motion capture performed in-house was also used to animate digital doubles for wide shots, allowing seamless integration into the production.

The success of Season 6 established an ongoing relationship with Tyler Perry Studios and ultimately led to Origin Point Productions being selected as VFX Lead for Ruthless Season 7.
