SPLICED INC
Spliced Inc. is a new video games studio entering a highly competitive market. To help communicate the launch, and build the studio's visual identity, Working with an open brief, the creative was developed through collaborative brainstorms to suggest narratives that would add structure to the piece. The result is a visually arresting one-minute launch video that tells the story of the studio by presenting a brief history of the developments in the technology that precedes them.

The styleframes I created serve as examples of transitioning from one genre to another.
