HUGE was asked by SK-II to create a VR experience telling their brand story, and tapped Psyop to help develop and bring it to life.

We created the experience in Unreal Engine, and delivered the first part, a teaser trailer, in 4 short weeks. We then spent the next 4-5 months concepting and creating the rest of it, which included flying to Bangkok to film Wallace Huo, a Chinese movie star and brand ambassador to SK-II. It was great to work with him, the team at HUGE, and SK-II on this unique and beautiful experience!

Special thanks to the entire team at Psyop!

I had the opportunity to work on this lovely short film as an Associate and VFX Producer. The film was stopmotion animated by //kneeon, and the faces were animated in CG and comped on.
