KIA // Petals

For the collaboration with director Johnny Hardstaff and cinematographer Martin Ruhe, I served as the VFX Supervisor and Art Director, tasked with the delicate challenge of manifesting Hardstaff’s highly idealized, "dreamy" inspirations into a tangible cinematic reality. My role was to bridge the gap between abstract conceptualization and technical execution, ensuring that every visual element—from the large-scale environmental atmosphere down to the most minute, millimetrically placed petals—adhered to a strict and sophisticated art direction.

Supervising the project on-set alongside Johnny and Martin, I led a rigorous technical approach that allowed for maximum creative fluidity. We treated the frame as a canvas, where the placement of every digital asset was as intentional as a brushstroke. By integrating precise on-set supervision with high-end post-production craft, we achieved a visual harmony that feels both ethereal and grounded. The final result is a testament to the power of meticulous detail, where technical precision serves the beauty of the dream, creating a piece that speaks for itself through its sheer aesthetic elegance.
