Yuri's Omen

Visual effects for a fiction film

Introduction

"Yuri's Omen", created and produced by AVED Audiovisual Productions, tells a story about a young man, Konstantin, who travels to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and finds the answers he has been looking for all his entire life.

My role

My creative journey started in the movie field. After working at a local television, I took the opportunity to work in the independent film field. I focused on production, specifically video editing and visual effects. For this short film, I took the position of Visual Effects Assistant. I performed tasks that required attention to detail and patience, such as masking, image search, and composition.
A still image from a movie with the original footage. A still image from a movie with visual effects added.

Challenge

As a Visual Effects Assistant, I was challenged to create completely different environments with minimal resources. The goal was to bring the main character from Lleida (a city in Catalonia, Spain) to Prypiat (Ukraine). The whole postproduction team consisted of two people (including me), and all video manipulations were done using visual effects (VFX).

I also created several animations, for example, a retro-style digital map.

Result

This short movie has been screened at various international film festivals, including Cannes Film Festival (France), International Uranium Fim Festivals (Brazil and Germany), Sitges Film Festival (Spain) and NYC Independent Film Festival (USA).
