Official trailer

This page showcases the official trailer of The Profession of Arms, a historical feature directed by Ermanno Olmi. The film earned significant recognition, being selected for the permanent collection of the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York and nominated for a David di Donatello Award in the Best Visual Effects category.

I contributed to the production as VFX Supervisor for Interactive Milano, overseeing the integration of digital elements to support the film's visual narrative while maintaining historical authenticity. Key visual effects contributions included:

CG landscape and environment extensions;

Period-correct visual cleanups;

Digital reconstruction of historical architecture.

My work focused on subtle, stylistically consistent VFX, aligned with Olmi’s cinematic language, helping to enhance the film’s realism and immersive period setting.
