TBS director reveals behind-the-scenes footage of ‘VIVANT’ Season 2

Director Shin Yamamoto of TBS Sparkle has released details regarding ‘VIVANT-Adventure Log-’, a documentary series capturing approximately one year of behind-the-scenes footage from the production of the TBS Sunday Theater drama ‘VIVANT’ Season 2.

The V_Log series, available on TVer, aims to document the challenges and technical innovations of the production. Key highlights include a seven-minute continuous shot involving actors Masato Sakai and Takashi Yamanaka, as well as the use of a complex set featuring over 700 LED panels to simulate a supercomputer environment.

Yamamoto noted that the project evolved from a simple request to record the production's challenges into a comprehensive look at the entire crew. The footage covers various aspects of filmmaking, from specialized makeup processes for torture scenes to the collaborative efforts between Japanese and international staff during overseas filming.
