For J.A. Bayona’s internationally acclaimed feature film Society of the Snow, our team delivered a substantial body of visual effects work over a three-month production period, contributing to the film’s highly realistic portrayal of the 1972 Andes tragedy.

Our work focused on the seamless digital recreation of the Andean environment, replacing the original Sierra Nevada backgrounds with landscapes that accurately reflected the topography, snow conditions, and atmospheric characteristics of the Chilean Andes. In addition, we produced a fully CG shot depicting the freezing of one of the film’s principal characters beneath the avalanche debris, combining advanced environment creation, hiperrealistic character digi double creation, lighting, and compositing techniques.

Society of the Snow received widespread industry recognition for its visual effects achievements, earning nominations at the Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards and winning the Goya Award for Best Special Effects, highlighting the exceptional technical and artistic standards achieved throughout the production.
