Destiny 2: Lightfall - The Darkness (2023)

For Lightfall, I worked on lighting for a variety of environments and cinematics. This post focuses on Calus' capital ship which has crash-landed on the outskirts of Neomuna, the primary new location in Lightfall.

In Lightfall, Calus is a servant of the Witness and through our lighting progression we hoped to tell the story of a Calus that has changed. Starting with the familiar Leviathan color palette of gold and purple, we aimed to show a sliver of Calus' opulence; a façade that quickly fades away the further into his ship we go - revealing a much more dreary and desolate scheme.
