SuperGlad: Game Advert

Fourth Dimension pitched the vision of using a mix of live painting and real time video to Coatsink for their upcoming game release ‘SuperGlad’. The game is based around two characters, Ruby and Lloyd, as they navigate an intricate dream world of their own creation. The idea was to show the brilliant characters without using in game development footage. This was done on a 3 axis motion control rig in a green screen studio. The painting was recorded over 8 hours, then the same motion control move was repeated multiple times to capture our narrator on screen.
