Into the Lost Desert

Empty Quarter Studios

Empty Quarter Studios feature-length documentary ‘Into the Lost Desert’, follows extreme desert explorer Max Calderan as he pursues his lifelong dream to walk across the Rub’ al Khali, the last uncharted desert on the planet.

422 South mapped his incredible journey and revealed the sheer scale of this undertaking.

The feat is a physical and mental undertaking. As Max pushes his body to the limit we created visual effects that evoke his connection to the spirits know as Jinn.

Our task was to create graphics that bought the story to life, showing what the desert was like as it is being talked about, as if Max had travelled back in time.
