Gecko Motifs and 1980s Glasgow: The VFX Behind Patrick Melrose

Patrick flies to New York to collect his father’s ashes and goes on to spend a drug-crazed 24 hours. Vine FX transformed the streets of Glasgow into 1980's New York. They replicated period cars and extended buildings.

Also, they created CG gecko constantly appearing in every episode. During the first of his father’s assaults, young Patrick suffered an out-of-body experience and felt himself disappear into the body of a gecko which followed him in his later stages of life.
