Our Foundation in Real-Time Creativity
Kellogg’s Cornelius: Character Animation
We brought Kellogg’s iconic mascot, Cornelius, into the 3D world—transforming a flat 2D illustration into a fully animated character using modern storytelling tools. This process honed our character animation pipeline, laying the foundation for our process of discovering real-time character animation.
✅ Character performance
✅ Stylized rigging + motion
✅ Real-world asset transformation
👉 This project shows how we bring characters to life for cinematic storytelling and branded content.
F1: Petronas – Real-Time Motion Meets Design
For Petronas’ Formula 1 team, we blended cinematic storytelling with cutting-edge real-time workflows. Built in Unreal Engine, we crafted fluid simulations in Niagara, stylized motion design, and composited the final visuals using Unreal-to-Nuke and After Effects.
✅ Real-time fluid sims
✅ Unreal rendering & lighting
✅ Design-to-delivery in UE pipeline
👉 This project demonstrates our mastery of real-time VFX workflows now leveraged in virtual production and pre-vis.
Red Bull Racing x Daniel Ricciardo: Outback Thrill Ride
Ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, we helped Red Bull tell a high-octane story of Daniel Ricciardo tearing through the outback in the RB7 F1 car. This was a large-scale cinematic production, integrating creative planning, environment transitions, and high-energy narrative.
✅ Narrative structuring
✅ Scene planning + cinematic pacing
✅ Environment storytelling
👉 This campaign sharpened our ability to build cohesive scenes—skills we now apply to pre-visualizing film action sequences and branded films.
Pacific Games 2023: Unreal-Powered Broadcasting
We delivered the full broadcast animation package for the 2023 Pacific Games—including the main opening titles and over 250 animated assets using Unreal Engine. This project showcased our ability to build consistent real-time motion systems at scale for live, international audiences.
✅ Unreal for broadcast design
✅ Large-scale motion graphics
✅ Cross-platform asset delivery
👉 This proves our ability to scale real-time pipelines across long-form content, a key capability in delivering feature-length pre-vis and game cinematics.
