Challenge
20th Television needed to safely and convincingly depict a live tiger interacting within a residential apartment setting for an episode of 9-1-1, inspired by a true story. The production required capturing a real tiger on a green screen in a manner that matched the lighting, angles, and spatial dimensions of the actual set, ensuring seamless integration without endangering actors or the animal.

Solution
Evolution, serving as the fulfillment arm for GreenScreenAnimals.com, engineered a comprehensive solution. We reconstructed a three-wall set replicating the exact measurements and lighting conditions of the show’s apartment interior. Collaborating closely with the show’s director, producer, and visual effects team, we meticulously planned each shot to align with the production’s specifications. Our team managed all aspects of the shoot—from set construction and lighting design to coordinating with animal handlers—to capture the necessary elements for the sequence.

Result
The episode featuring the tiger sequence garnered significant attention for its realism and seamless visual effects integration. The successful execution of this complex scene underscored Evolution’s ability to deliver high-stakes, story-driven content through innovative production solutions.

Thanks to expert planning and collaboration, we captured a flawless performance, blending live action and visual effects to create a stunning, realistic scene for 9-1-1.
