Principal photography has officially wrapped on BBC series ‘Ripper Street’ after an 18-week shoot in Dublin.
The Clancy Barracks location, which was home to Whitechapel residents Jerome Flynn, Matthew Macfadyen and Adam Rothenberg’s characters Detective Drake, Inspector Reid and Captain Jackson, as well as a set which took eight weeks to build, is currently being dismantled after an 18 week-long shoot.
Screen Scene VFX in Dublin is currently putting the finishing visual effects touches to the eight-part drama, while Egg Post Production, also based in Dublin, is looking after the full audio post and grading.
Geraghty and his team designed streets, a prison, a bar, and even a laboratory for the period drama. Speaking to IFTN before production ended, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ actor Matthew Macfadyen praised Geraghty for his work, calling him “really talented”.
Both Macfadyen and Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones) also appreciated Irish designer Lorna Marie Mugan’s period drama designs. Flynn said putting the costume on allowed him to “immediately feel like you’re in period so doing something in period helps, you just kind of mould into what you’re doing.” Mugan has just been nominated for an Emmy Award for her designs for Sky series ‘Treasure Island’.
Macfadyen echoed Flynn’s statements, commenting: “I shouldn’t sound sentimental, but there does feel like a lovely atmosphere with the crew, and maybe it’s that a lot of things are filming here and there’s been a resurgence in big companies, it just feels like a lovely place to work.
“It’s been lovely being in Dublin, it feels very contained, it’s not like shooting in London where you’re spending your whole day in the car and it’s very disparate. We’re never more than 20 minutes away from any location, and the crew has been fantastic.”
