I had the opportunity to build an entire miniature city for HELLFEST 2024! Hellfest is the largest heavy metal music festival in Europe, held yearly in Clisson, France. Major bands have played their main stage, including Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and more. It was such an incredible experience to work on this project, and an absolute honour to be part of it.

​

We actually used real fire, and lightning for this shoot, courtesy of Blood Brothers FX. They used a custom-made Tesla coil to produce the craziest FX I've ever seen! I was so worried about the material I used catching fire, but luckily only a few pieces melted by the end of the day ;). All in all, it was one of the coolest projects I've worked on to date.

​

We filmed the "Infernopolis" city to make video clips that would play over the large screens at the festival itself, with the help of an amazing crew (full crew listed below)! I want to give a major thanks to Hellfest, LE CLACK, Mathieu Renoult and Émile Lavoie for making this all happen!
