Happy to share a passionate personal project inspired by “Dune” - the epic movie directed by Denis Villeneuve and created by Mondlicht Studios and Ilya Nodia.
The project started with an idea to create a fan project with desert landscapes. With any new project, Ilya is trying to combine real photo shooting with CG more and more. He is using a VR headset to explore virtual spaces to create the concept and shape the idea.
The integration of cgi was also a goal. After a few tests, Ilya came up with an understanding of what he wants to achieve and (after watching "Dune") the visual style and the story's atmosphere.
Coincidentally, right when Ilya started to work on the project, two famous cosplayers (Manuel "WhitePyke" and Bekkhan Khalukhaev) contacted Ilya and suggested creating a photo series based on Dune. It seemed that everything around was pushing to make this project happen. Ilya decided to give it a shot and suggested collaborating with Mondlicht Studios to enhance the images with CG and matte-painting.
The most exciting part of the photo shooting was the location, so we couldn’t resist the temptation to create and share the making-of video for our new project inspired by “Dune”. Ilya managed to find sand dunes near Moscow at the end of October. Fortunately, the day was sunny and the team managed to recreate the atmosphere of an extremely hot desert - while still being in the wintery Moscow.
Special thanks to Dima Avi for beautiful soundtrack
