WorldWar III

Visual Concept Design

World War III is a 2022 Iranian thriller drama film co-written, directed, produced, and edited by Houman Seyyedi. On August 4, 2022, it was announced that the film was set to compete for the Orizzonti Award at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
During the pre-production of  World War III , the director needed several visual concepts for various sections of the film to communicate and convey the overall vision to the costume and set design teams. Achieving results within a short timeframe was a top priority to prepare for production, which required that the concepts align as closely as possible with the director’s intended atmosphere. Several images were created for scenes that required full-scale set builds, while others focused on the use of lighting and color to shape the film’s mood. Notably, concept art developed for the set design included Hitler’s house and an abstract, evocative representation of a section of Auschwitz prison, both of which were integral to the film’s visual narrative. These concepts provided a foundational guide for the production team in realizing the film’s design.
