The work is mysterious and important...

I just finished watching Severance Season 2, and... wow... it’s an experience.
I can highly recommend to anyone who hasn't watched it to watch it, especially if you are a fan of sci-fi and very "tight" narratives.
The show is stunning, especially the cinematography, which is simplistic yet incredibly refined. Every shot feels intentional, flows seamlessly into the next, with camera angles and movement that aren’t just there to tell a story - they are the story. The visual language of this show is so precise that it becomes part of the narrative itself, adding layers of meaning without needing words.
Reflecting on both seasons, it’s clear the creators have paid meticulous attention to every detail. Season 1, because it was on a tighter budget, as all first seasons tend to do, used every dollar to its advantage - leaning on spaces, shot structures and best in class use of those spaces instead of a bunch of VFX. It’s a masterclass in how limited resources can enhance the storytelling. And the revelations of characters sync beautifully with the viewer’s revelations: as the characters learn, so do we, which keeps us emotionally and mentally aligned with them. That kind of ludo-narrative synchronicity is rare, and Severance nails it.
Season 2 expands everything - scope, scale, lore - yet it still feels the same. It actually plays with expectations (spoiler alert), especially early on when it almost tricks you into thinking the cast has changed, only to reveal in the same episode that they are not! The visual style evolves too, with a noticeable emphasis on lines - everything in Lumon is clean, structured, almost oppressive, contrasting with the softness and almost humanity of certain elements like the roundness of terminals. It’s uses it's set design to really drive the point home about the psychological aspect of the world of Severance.

SHOWREEL

I've finally put together a showreel of all of my biggest works to date.
I've done more, but this is all that I wanted to fit into a small video to highlight all the cool things I've done in the past.
And how much more I can and will do!

Zeffyr's RE:Envy Lore Video - Struggle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzHmA99LFhs
When I was approached by Zeffyr to work on this project I basically immediately said yes.
This was a difficult project and it was originally supposed to be done in 1 week, but then we decided to increase it to 2 weeks.
The main problem of this project was making it tense and allowing it to have a gradual buildup and flow. The project required many iterations of the dialogue and tweaks to the shot lengths.
This project is also full of tiny details and subtle moments that all work to build into the proper narrative of the struggle with the choice that Envy was making in the moment.

I've finally done it...

Sigh...
I have a Boosty! o7
