The Game Awards

Where Gaming Sparks Fly.

Where Gaming Sparks Fly.

To pay tribute to the best of the best in the world of gaming excellence, we knew that we had to design a sequence that pulsed with digital adrenaline. 
Commissioned for The Game Awards, gaming's most prestigious celebration, our skilled team set out to create something that would make screens crackle and controllers tremor. Though it never made it to air, this project perfectly captured our vision and showcased the collision of gaming culture and raw creative energy.

Games Come Alive

Every frame of this sequence is driven by adrenaline —  from gritty war zones to screaming supercars, from virtual reality voyages to stratospheric dogfights.  

We set out to capture the essence of gaming in every frame. With a lean, driven team, we set out to create something as bold and untamed as gaming itself.

Calculated Chaos

Our design goals were clear: make it beautiful, then shatter it. Through meticulously composed layers of distortion, film grain, and digital disruption, we formulated a visual language to speak to the edgy heart of gaming.  

Each transition was a system override, every frame treated with the grit and attitude that gamers recognise from their favourite titles. 

This project wasn't about playing it safe — it was about pushing the boundaries of motion design until the pixels burst through the screen.

Level Up

This project was a practice in creative chaos, with every team member pushing far beyond their artistic comfort zones. The result? A piece that proves the most powerful work ignites when you throw away the rule book and crank up the voltage until screens spark.
