We’re excited to share our concept development work created for Hijack, streaming on Apple TV+. Here's a brief teaser for you : Two years after the hijacking of flight KA29, Sam Nelson - played by Idris Elba - is drawn into a dangerous new ordeal that becomes deeply personal.
To support the narrative direction, we explored a wide range of environment concepts focused on mountainous landscapes. Our work centered on developing multiple visual approaches to establish the tone, scale, and geography of the setting. A key objective was to ensure that the landscapes could feel coherent and continuous across multiple shots, while still supporting the story.
As part of the early stage of VFX environment design, we developed a series of concept art and iterative matte painting explorations to help establish the visual direction of the landscapes before production began.
We continued working on the serie afterward, delivering full digital matte paintings that were used in the final production. To discover more about it you can click here!
