THE MAKING OF
When you’re talking about supernatural concepts and ideas, bringing that imagery to life requires some creative story telling.
Daystar Film used more than a few unorthodox methods to capture metaphors we felt represented details shared by our contributors. Visually presenting supernatural experiences, especially those that exceed our human understanding was no easy task, but we loved the challenge.
Here are some examples of the materials and techniques we explored to make these stories come alive!
