Black Mirror "Hated in the Nation"

I have beeen very fortunate to work on the sixth episode of Black Mirror Season 3 "Hated in the Nation" and produced by Netflix.

I was responsible for several UI screens used in Season 3, Episode 6 ("Hated in the Nation"), collaborating closely with CGI Director Somon Russell. My work focused on modeling the bees and creating the on‑screen graphical representations that appear both in close‑up and as part of the episode’s environments. The aim was to make the UI and 3D elements feel like an integrated part of the show’s dystopian interface language while remaining clear and readable when filmed.

Key contributions

  • Role: 3D modeler & CGI artist — UI screens and in‑scene graphics

  • Modeled and textured bee assets (high‑detail for closeups, optimized variants for screen playback)

  • Created animated UI sequences and screen compositions seen on monitors and environmental displays

  • Rendered and prepared AOVs/mattes and comp‑friendly passes for seamless integration into live sets and VFX shots

  • Worked directly with the production designer, motion graphics and compositing teams to ensure visual consistency across the episode
