Directing a legend

2008 was in many ways the highpoint of the Bionicle legend. This was when the big secret was disclosed and when the destiny of the Toa was finally fulfilled. They restarted Mata Nui but Makuta had been ahead all the time and turned their victory into defeat by taking over Mata Nui right at the reboot. Making a film that depicted this was one of the biggest challenges in creating Bionicle. For many years I doubted that we would ever get to make this sequence. One task was to design the giant Mata Nui himself. Another challenge was to make the whole sequence epic enough to contain 8 years of legend. As always the crew at Ghost VFX http://ghost.dk/ and sound designers at Mainstream http://www.mainstream.dk/ did a great job and made the vision come to life.
