Character Creator has become an essential tool in our production pipeline for 3D character and Digital Human creation. Reallusion has enabled us to produce realistic characters, Digital Humans and high quality animation for any scene we can imagine. Making it an intuitive experience to block out our ideas and then to further refine the process for either stills, film or video output.

Electric Universe

europafilms 4th August 2020

When an iconic brand like Porsche crosses our path, it triggers a sense of pride and ignites our inner creative passion to do great work. After meeting the Porsche Taycan Turbo S for the first time, it was clear that the iconic Porsche design would not only spark the imagination, but resonate with your inner core. The feeling was instant, this was a cinematic moment. A shot of creative adrenaline for us to shoot the kind of photography that would elevate the Porsche brand to new heights. This was our inspiration, our elevated mood and everything was aligned that evening. The location locked down and weather atmospherics were in perfect formation for our shoot for the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
