The VFX work primarily involved removing modern elements — such as buildings and infrastructure — that did not exist in the period setting, as well as adding subtle atmospheric effects including muzzle flashes and smoke. One of the highlights was the opportunity to incorporate practical model photography into several shots.

To add historically accurate ships to the background on a tight budget, I worked with the Bergen Maritime Museum, who kindly provided access to photograph scale models from their collection. These images were then integrated into the live-action plates using compositing and digital grading to ensure period-appropriate realism.

The visual effects work supported the film's historical authenticity without drawing attention to itself, helping maintain immersion and continuity throughout. The seamless integration of digital and practical elements contributed to the film's understated yet powerful atmosphere.
