Collaborating with Salomon Ligthelm on Beyond the Endless Light, we set out to create visual effects that feel raw, immersive, and deeply connected to the film’s themes. Stripping away excess, we built an aesthetic that reflects its core question: What remains when talent, charisma, and validation fade away?

To bring this vision to life, we crafted fire simulations for burning tree. Alongside that, we developed lightning and storm simulations, adding a sense of turbulence and uncertainty. By blending these dynamic elements with Ligthelm’s signature visual storytelling, we shaped a raw yet visceral experience, one that invites the audience to feel the weight of existential inquiry.
