/ OVERVIEW
Clocking in at nearly 2 hours in duration, this is one of the longest pieces of work we’ve ever made, and we did it in just over 2 months. With 9 weeks production time, we knew we had a huge task on our hands to make this look as beautiful and stylish as possible. The environments throughout the film are completely unique, created using a combination of procedurally generated and hand-made art. The complex landscape spans nearly 2km of walkable space, and is all rendered in real time using Unity. Big shout out to the Riot Games Music team who put their faith in us and allowed us to get stuck in and really experiment with this one, we’re extremely proud of how it all turned out. Get a cup of your favourite beverage, clear your second screen and put this on for a relaxing, flow-state-inducing walk through the woods.
