I go behind the icy curtain of The Wandering Earth, China’s landmark sci-fi blockbuster, with special visual effects supervisor Samir Ansari of Pixomondo. From making digitalsnow look real to planetary propulsion systems, Samir walks us through the creative and technical feats that brought this frozen apocalypse to life.

We explore the cross-cultural collaboration between Pixomondo and the Chinese production team, diving into the challenges and rewards of working across languages, workflows, and cinematic traditions. Samir shares how trust and visual storytelling became the universal language on set.

🧊 Highlights include:

  • Crafting realistic snow simulations and frozen cityscapes

  • Designing futuristic vehicles that feel grounded in physics and culture

  • Engineering the colossal “world engines” that push Earth out of orbit

  • Navigating communication and creative synergy with a Chinese crew
