The only way is up!

Framestore reunited with director Baltasar Kormákur to create two terrifying mountain environments for survivalist thriller, Apex.

Led by VFX Supervisor Gavin McKenzie, Framestore’s artists delivered a CG recreation of Norway’s Troll Wall, a devastating blizzard, and a perilous Australian gorge environment. Across 274 shots, the visual effects heighten the nail-biting tension of climbing sequences, while preserving the film’s rugged realism.
