Exaggerated amounts of snow, oversized icicles, an icy blue grade, and the removal of distracting signs all work to communicate the supernatural winterization of an iconic Chicagoan location.

Removing the magician’s thread and adding an eerie glow to the stone serve to punch up this magic trick.

A foggy forest and dark grade provide contrast to Santa’s persona in order to place him in an unexpected location.

Keying the character and replacing the background with a clean plate allowed the later addition of a portal asset to give this shot a balance of the mundane and the supernatural.

Depicting this character experiencing a paradox in his timeline involved creating a purple effect (in line with the other supernatural effects in this short film) that incorporated a glitchy feel to highlight the malfunction in his time travel.
