OPPORTUNITY

We were invited by our friends at Skylight Collective to contribute to the trailer for South of Midnight, an upcoming video game from Compulsion Games. Our role focused on crafting the end logo reveal and developing “lace effects” featured throughout the piece. The collaboration centered on a stop-motion-inspired lace animations. This lace was intricately designed with animal forms and symbolic patterns, adding a rich visual texture that carried through the trailer’s aesthetic.

SOLUTION

At the outset of the project, I built a custom set up which allowed us to create intricate geometry from carefully art-directed images. To ensure optimal performance without compromising visual quality, I animated and rendered the lace geometry as animated textures wherever possible. This kept the scenes lightweight and responsive, even with a high level of detail. The final result was a visually striking logo reveal that captured the handcrafted, magical essence of South of Midnight, aligning with the game's unique artistic direction.
