Chernobyl
In April 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics becomes one of the world's worst man-made catastrophes. (IMDb)
Working on this Emmy-Award-winning project was acompanied by an uneasy feeling, because all these horrible events we helped to visualize (the giant smoke column and the dancing reactor lid in my case) actually happend for real. It's a visually stunning reminder on what happened in front of our eyes but also behind our backs in Chernobyl, 1986.
