RIDDICK (UNIVERSAL PICTURES)

STARNO collaborated with Raynault FX on the third installment of the cult sci-fi franchise, Riddick, starring Vin Diesel. The primary focus was the creation of extensive matte paintings to build the hostile, sun-scorched planet where the protagonist is left for dead.

The mandate involved designing and executing "alien" environments that felt truly otherworldly. This included the development of desolate, rocky landscapes, jagged geological formations, and dramatic, strange skyboxes that defined the planet's atmosphere. Working closely with the visual effects team, we ensured that the matte paintings blended seamlessly with the live-action plates, enhancing the sense of isolation and danger throughout the film.
