_Info
I was a co-director in this personal studio project at Steelworks, focusing on landscapes and the art of world-building. Our inspiration led us to pay homage to the beauty and essence of Japan.

_Concept
A beautifully crafted world that re-imagined man-made structures as well as expansive natural vistas. The first-person, soaring POV makes the visuals all the more personal, allowing the viewer to enjoy what could be. Combining detailed visuals with bespoke sound design uplifts the experience to be that much more magically visceral. All in a looping experience.
_Behind the Scenes
In our journey through various landscapes, our primary aim was to evoke a sense of tranquility and peace. We sought to seamlessly transition between diverse elements such as lush greenery, flowing water, gentle sand, and soft light, crafting an immersive experience that transports us into varied facets of Japanese environments.
