FREE GUY

Visionary director Shawn Levy challenged us on Free Guy to develop the graphical world within FREE CITY, the massively popular online game where most of the film takes place. Developing elements for an entire world had us working at every imaginable scale, from full-frame HUDs, to CG dogfighting jets, to enormous jumbotron-style leaderboards, to blink-and-you-miss it Easter eggs in the form of player-usable items and power-ups.

We also applied the graphical language developed for FREE CITY and used it as the cornerstone for creation of the film's title card and end credit sequence. The close creative collaboration we enjoyed with Shawn Levy and the visual effects team allowed us to bring out the best in every element no matter the scale, and was invaluable to our aim to imbue each sequence we worked on with the unabashed goofiness and warmth of the film.
