Meow Wolf's ‘Convergence Station’ is the epitome of surrealism. A 'tourism' campaign like no other, the film comprises vintage travel ads, trippy visual effects and shot footage directed by Andreas Nilsson. It is accompanied by music from Grammy/Oscar-winning songwriter, Bret McKenzie.

Viewers (or should we say passengers), witness bizarre sights as they experience interdimensional travel through an alien landscape, only made possible by otherworldly VFX. The brief was to dictate a surreal train journey, whereby passengers travel upside-down, across water and down a wormhole, all the while taking in some weird and wonderful views made up of fantastical VFX elements married with reinvented stock footage.

Think turkey-alien 3D creatures, erratic spirographs being printed by one-eyed train crew and even a kaleidoscopic wormhole which teleports viewers to another dimension. All the while, we watch in awe as one passenger ages before our eyes, another grows a third eye and peeps into his alternate universe, and the journey ends sky-high.

This one was a VFX trip of a lifetime.
