CLIENT - Parkwood Entertainment
MARKETS - Worldwide
ROLE - VFX Artist
YEAR - 2023

Created stadium visuals for Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour under Creative Director Andrew Makadsi. The brief was a 4–5 minute visual sequence for a 50-meter wide stadium screen — starting with animatics, then moving into full production using Cinema 4D and After Effects. Renders were still processing the morning of the show premiere in Stockholm. Excitement. The final piece accompanied "LIFT OFF" and "7/11" in the show's second segment, developed through multiple rounds of iteration and close collaboration with the creative team. Special recognition goes to Frederik Heyman, whose vision was instrumental in shaping the style and visual language of the show.

behind the scenes

Working with an artist of Beyoncé's caliber demanded exceptional flexibility and precision, with creative requirements evolving daily. The use of previs proved invaluable, allowing us to quickly adapt and reposition major animation segments as the music evolved. This dynamic workflow was crucial for effective communication and presentation throughout the production process, ensuring our visuals could keep pace with the artist's vision. The following is an outake of an early animatic.
