For the primetime special Vikings: Worlds at War with ET Canada, Adrian worked closely on the visual design that brought the epic world of Vikings Season 6 to life—merging cinematic storytelling with immersive graphic artistry.
Hosted by Carlos Bustamante and aired on the History Channel, the broadcast offered viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey into the internationally acclaimed series. Filmed on-location in Ireland, the special featured rare access to the show's set and cast, combining rich editorial content with stunning visuals.

Adrian traveled to Ireland to capture the striking photographs which were then broken down into individual depth layers in photoshop and animated in after effects to create interesting parallaxed movements.

This project exemplifies Adrian’s ability to capture and elevate location photos and develop them into editorial storytelling through sophisticated visual design—creating not just a television special, but an experience.
