One of the defining pieces of concept art made for The Hunt. This style frame was one of the first to nail the film's feel and look. As you may notice, it strongly resembles a poster (and a sequence of the film) - this has long been the defining image of the film and I'm super happy we managed to preserve its essence and quality (from lighting, to shape design to the painterly look) all the way til the final stage.

More than a film, my goal with The Hunt was to create a "moving painting" and I'm super happy we managed to do that.
