A new first-party game development studio, Jar of Sparks was founded by award-winning game developers including Halo Infinite’s Head of Design, Jerry Hook.
Founded with a mission to create a new generation of narrative-driven action games with immersive worlds, the studio came to Territory to create a brand film that presents its philosophy to help introduce it to the industry and the wider gaming world. With an open brief, we could play strong art, production, music, and overall directorial roles throughout the development of the film.
The film was created using a combination of cinema 4D and simulation techniques created with Houdini, all rendered out with Redshift. Ai was used early on in the exploration phase to help create the other worldly landscapes which resulted in a composition that is both innovative and provocative.
