THE DEATH OF RAÚL
"The goal was not only to define the visual direction, but also the narrative one: understanding how the earth behaves and ultimately how it kills."
Raúl's death went through several different approaches. We explored the earth attacking him as a vortex that pulled the character inward, gradually dissolving him. Later, we tested a heavier and more oppressive concept, where the soil dries out and compresses him.
Within that idea, there were multiple stages: initially the earth appears moist and dense, gradually becoming lighter, cracked, and visibly drier as the process evolves.
My role was not focused on exploring roots or alternative poses, but rather on finding different ways to tell the story visually.
The objective was to translate ideas into images that would later help define how the VFX team approached the final execution.
