Suspended in the endless blackness of the spirit realm, Yunara's shrine had to strike a delicate balance, feeling human and lived-in, yet still cloaked in a haunting sense of isolation and mystery.

We explored lighting, texture, and architectural elements to convey both her presence and the surrounding emptiness, shaping a space that felt intimate, ancient, and spiritually charged.

Our new video for League of Legends' Spirit Blossom Beyond season, 'A New Battlefield' is here!

Picking up where we left off with 'Here, Tomorrow', we return to the beautiful world of Ionia but this time with even more drama, FX, and high-stakes action.

Huge thanks to the insanely talented 'Here, Tomorrow' crew who came back to help us take it even further.

Hope you enjoy!

We follow our hero, Xin Zhao, as he journeys through the land of Ionia to a mountain village celebrating the Spirit Blossom Festival.

In Ionia, myths live in the landscape, hidden in the forests, the mountains, and the people who call it home.

We wanted to bring those stories to life, tying the beauty of nature to timeless legends and opening a window into a world of myth.

Things just got reel in 2025... Here’s a mix of recent work and a few old favourites we still love.

We collaborated with long-time friend, Rina May Project on bespoke music for the reel. The brief? “How would you sum us up after 10 years of knowing us?” Her answer... “For Fun”.

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to all the collaborators, animators, artists, and producers who’ve poured passion into every frame of every project.

We wouldn’t be who we are without you.

Hope you enjoy it.

The final sweep through Ionia.

We revisit the myths embedded into the landscape. Two worlds, side by side, never crossing.

But maybe…that’s about to change.

This sequence focuses on Lux, drawing out the motif of light.

We leaned into texture here; rich, layered visuals that set this moment apart from the rest of the film. The goal was to evoke the spirit world that lives and breathes alongside Ionia. Present, vibrant, yet never quite intersecting.

In this shot we follow Ashe as she leaps through the mythical landscapes of Ionia.

The challenge for these sections of the film, was to develop a look that was distinct from the rest of the film - something that spoke to the idea of myths, whilst still feeling contemporary and colourful.
