San Diego Zoo wanted to promote their Jungle Bells -festival that features exciting visuals and light installations among other things. For this they had envisioned with M&C Saatchi an image of a spirit of a snowy owl descending from the skies in front of a festival visitor. My task was to realize the concept as a matte painting that is magical, dynamic and exciting while keeping true to the owl species and local vegetation they had in mind. Tuomas Korpi was the creative director at Pinata and provided art direction together with the client.
