At Steelworks, we pride ourselves in constantly challenging our team to push the limits of what can be achieved. What we created in CGI was 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.

Worlds of Japan
Design Development

For this project we looked at flowers, inspired by Japan’s fauna.
Botanical plants, zen gardens, taking cues from Japanese culture.

We also looked at the other side of technology and how we could merge these worlds together drawing a visual connection between them as well as integrating some of Japan’s visual art.

The concept behind this was to create a visual journey where we lead the viewers on a path of exploration in this imaginary world. We explored a few different routes within this world as you will see.
