01 / The story

Field notes from places that have not yet been invented. A collection of characters, impossible buildings and half-remembered landscapes.

An atlas does not have to prove a place exists. This one collects the visual questions that precede a production: what a city fears, how a creature rests, which color belongs to a memory. Each study can become the seed of a larger world.

Find the story in the silhouette.

A fictional production concept. Artwork and studies illustrate the proposed world; release years are part of the demo.

02 / The visual notebook

Inside the world.

03 / Production notes

An intention in
every department.

Design & performance

A world with its own rules.

Find the story in the silhouette. Character silhouette, spatial rhythm and color are explored together in the visual notebook, before a sequence moves into an animatic or playable test.

Technical development

Built around the image.

Value grouping and silhouette studies lead the process. Color, materials and detailed construction follow only once the image reads at thumbnail scale.

Music & sound

More than what we see.

Ambient sound references are paired with visual studies to establish the temperature and rhythm of each setting.

04 / Moving studies

From stillness
to a sequence.

Explore the studio’s animated visual anthology: a short sequence of world, character and material studies.
