The Brief

We recently collaborated with the renowned gaming studio, Deep Silver Dambuster Studios on the internal launch party for their highly anticipated video game, ‘Dead Island 2’.

Dambuster Studios gave us the task of bringing their virtual world to life, immersing guests in the captivating world of the game. Our goal was to create hyper-realistic, real-life versions of two lead characters from the game, enabling them to interact with guests while remaining true to their in-game personas. Additionally, we were tasked with crafting four eerily authentic zombies that would roam the event, amplifying the thrill of the game’s apocalyptic universe.

To amplify the thrill of the game’s apocalyptic universe, we were tasked with the creation of four eerily authentic zombies that would roam the event. Our team delved into the world of special effects and prosthetics, employing their expertise to transform talented individuals into hauntingly realistic zombies. 

Throughout the entire project, close collaboration with the visionary team at Dambuster Studios was paramount.
