Capacity, made visible

What clients can take from this project.

  1. 01

    Protect the illustration

    Jesper Ejsing's image set the standard. Shape, colour and brush character had to survive every technical decision that followed.

  2. 02

    Build the look in production

    The visual idea was resolved with RenderMan Stylized so the result could move, light and hold together across a full CG pipeline.

  3. 03

    R&D with a point of view

    Technical exploration served a clear visual target, proving that innovation is most useful when it protects authorship.
