Dreamlike Environments

Motion graphics and VFX created for the film's surreal sequences, including floating interfaces, digital displays, and stylized environments that couldn't be captured in-camera.

Story Support

Every effect, whether invisible or stylized, was designed to support the narrative, reinforcing the emotional journey without pulling attention away from the characters.

Animated Scene

The director felt the pivot point of the story, when she decides to fly back to Buenos Aires, would have a higher impact if it all suddenly transformed into an animated film for one scene. We worked together with the designer to craft this black and white airport, following the characters' emotions.
