Project Overview
Directed by Marten Persiel, Everything Will Change is a science-fiction feature that blends fiction, documentary, and environmental commentary into a deeply human story about loss, memory, and our relationship with the natural world. Set in a future where biodiversity has disappeared, the film imagines a generation attempting to understand a world they never had the chance to experience.
Conceived and produced during a period of global isolation, I AM HOME is an award-winning psychological thriller exploring perception, isolation, and the fragile boundary between reality and illusion. The film received international acclaim, earning eight major awards, including Best Director and Best Film. The film explores the psychological consequences of isolation, immersing audiences in an increasingly unsettling mystery where certainty slowly gives way to doubt.
What drew me to the project was its unique approach to visual storytelling. Unlike many science-fiction films that rely on spectacle, Everything Will Change builds its future through subtle environmental design, atmosphere, and carefully controlled imagery. The visual effects work was never intended to dominate the frame. Its purpose was to support the illusion of a believable reality while remaining invisible to the audience.
Building a World Through Absence
A future where what is missing becomes as important as what remains.
One of the film's most unique creative challenges was that its world building relied heavily on absence. Unlike many science-fiction projects that focus on creating new technologies, futuristic cities, or large-scale visual spectacle, Everything Will Change explores a future shaped by the disappearance of wildlife and the gradual erosion of humanity's connection to nature.
From a compositing perspective, this required a different way of thinking about visual storytelling. The work was often less about adding complexity and more about supporting a world that felt authentic, believable, and emotionally grounded. Every image needed to reinforce the idea that audiences were looking at a future that had lost something essential, without constantly drawing attention to the mechanisms used to create that impression.
Working With Infrared Imagery
Supporting a distinctive visual aesthetic built around infrared photography and environmental transformation.
A defining characteristic of the film is its striking visual appearance. Large portions of the future world were photographed using infrared imaging techniques, transforming familiar landscapes into surreal environments filled with deep reds and altered natural tones. The result is a world that immediately feels different while remaining recognizably real.
For compositing, this presented a unique set of challenges. Any additional visual elements needed to exist naturally within an image that already possessed an unconventional color palette and photographic character. Matching these characteristics required careful attention to color relationships, image density, atmospheric qualities, and overall visual balance. The objective was to ensure that all elements felt as though they originated from the same photographic process rather than separate stages of production.

Blending Fiction, Archive & Docu
Maintaining visual cohesion across multiple forms of storytelling and source material.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Everything Will Change is its ability to move between fictional narrative, documentary influences, archival material, and environmental imagery. These different visual sources play a crucial role in communicating the film's themes while expanding the audience's understanding of the world beyond the central narrative.
Supporting these transitions required a strong focus on image consistency and visual cohesion. Differences in source material, texture, contrast, and color characteristics needed to be carefully managed so that the audience experienced a unified film rather than a collection of separate visual formats. The challenge was not simply technical integration, but helping diverse visual materials feel like they belonged to the same cinematic universe.
Visual Effects in Service of Story
Using compositing as a storytelling tool rather than a showcase for technique.
What I found most rewarding about Everything Will Change was its approach to visual effects. The project reinforced an idea that has become increasingly important throughout my work: successful visual effects are not measured by how much attention they attract, but by how effectively they support the story being told.
Throughout the film, compositing served as a bridge between creative intention and final image execution. Whether supporting environmental storytelling, maintaining visual consistency, or helping different forms of imagery coexist within the same frame, the work remained focused on strengthening the audience's connection to the narrative.
The experience provided valuable insight into how visual effects can contribute to a film's emotional and thematic impact while remaining almost invisible within the finished work.
