“The fully digital jungle was conceptualized from the ground up, considering every specific species that compose it at different heights, and the rythms the composition of the forest would create through the shot, designed in pre-viz.”

The propulsion system was designed departing from considerations about sound and frequencies that were key themes of the film.

The spaceship needed to have to contradiction of very advanced technology that would feel like an ancient artifact.

  • This critical shot of the film is entirely digital. I Designed the Spaceship and Art Directed and supervised the VFX process to bring the shot to life, starting with the designed of the spaceship and working on the previz until its final form.

  • I conceptualized and designed the Spaceship as well as the Concept Designed of the Jungle and different levels.

  • I supervised the VFX process with the team of Automatik Berlin and Juan Manuel Betancour (Previz) in Colombia.
