BBC Winter Olympics 2022

 
 

Balázs simon directed this stunning film for bbc sport’s winter olympics 2022 coverage, using a clever combination of 3d printed ice sculptures and stop motion. harnessing the inherent qualities of algorithmic cgi, practical effects and handcrafted stop frame animation, balázs showcases how olympians push themselves to the extreme in search for gold.

I enjoyed every minute of working on this incredible production as the art director. Check out ‘the making of’ where you can see how it was all made.
