Alien Covenant - Planet and Ion Storm

Director: Ridley Scott
Production Designer: Chris Seagers
VFX Supervisor: Charlie Henley

Much of my work was oriented toward hard surface design, so it was fun to get to do some atmospheric images exploring the approach to the planet and the fierce storm activity encountered upon arrival.
As always, the VFX artists bring their considerable talents to bear and take everything to the next level in developing the final look.
