As we begin the new year 🎉, we thought it was time to take you behind the scenes of our design process for SHAN: Among humans, saints and snow leopards!

1️⃣ We begin with concept art by Lanzhes, a Ladakhi artist. This is an integral part of the co-creation process — ensuring that the artistic representations are grounded from a local perspective from the start. Representing Ladakh’s culture, landscape, and nuances of everyday life wihtout falling into the trap of stereotypes and exoticism. This allows us to better capture the spirit of the region with respect and emotional truth without clinging to photorealism.

2️⃣ Turning 2D drawings into 3D models comes with challenges — what works on paper doesn’t always translate in space!

We carried over the rough sketches — grainy, papery textures, swirly clouds, and muted tones — and embedded them directly into our 3D models to preserve the original feeling.

3️⃣ Modelling, texturing, and animation are done in Blender. Plants and clouds are procedurally created using Geometry Nodes, allowing us to build living worlds that stay true to the concept while coming alive in motion.

Looking forward to 2026!

Introducing the protagonists in Dark Rooms ➡️ Anjay, Trixie, F.L and Yaalioness! Our protagonists are more than just the faces of the story; they are co-creators who have shared their experiences with open hearts – shaping the narrative. Their honest and personal stories and creative insights are the foundation of our journey.



Each storyteller takes us on a deep exploration of sexual fantasy and identity taking into account the impact of religion, trauma, power dynamics and age in shaping our perceptions of sexuality.

They look forward to meeting you!

Reminiscing on our exciting adventure through Ladakh for our SHAN: Living with Snow Leopards production trip, that was not without it’s bumps in the road!

Ever grateful for our line producer, Stanzin, and his epic driving which got us from Leh to Uleh and Gya!

Here are some standout moments from our recent co-creation trip to Puglia where we held focus group discussions in Martignano, Martano, and Zollino.

We had an insightful five days together with the rest of the REVIVE team sharing our immersive experiences, learning as much as possible from the local community, and exploring Griko cultural heritage sites! 🏛️

We can’t wait to translate these conversations and workshops into a tangible experience to help preserve and revitalise Griko culture!

The breathtaking mountains of Ladakh are home to more than just people — they hold stories shared between humans, snow leopards, and the land itself.

Our upcoming mixed reality experience, SHAN focuses on the space where these lives intersect — physically, spiritually, and metaphorically. We know we have to bring the mountains into the headset with care and precision.

Our incredible scanner, Janek Burghardt, captured the terrain through drone photography and videography. Using techniques like Gaussian splats and photogrammetry, he’s helping shape a digital environment that remains deeply rooted in the textures and reality of Ladakh.

This isn’t just a backdrop. It’s part of the story.

“SHAN | Among Humans, Saints, and Snow Leopards” is a mixed reality documentary about coexistence — between humans and snow leopards, between tradition and change, in the high-altitude mountains of Ladakh, India.

Our small crew came together in Leh, Ladakh’s capital, at 3,500m above sea level. We had all travelled long distances with gear, excitement, and a shared commitment to telling this story with care.

Before anything else, we slowed down. We took the first couple of days to adjust to the altitude and plan our journey with intention. When we had the energy, we walked Leh’s winding streets, speaking with locals, observing, learning — always conscious that this story isn’t ours, but one we’re being trusted to tell.
