Metaverse Platform Launch Trailer: Creative Direction & Environment Design
Led the creative direction and environment production for a cinematic 1-minute promotional trailer created for a blockchain/metaverse platform. Collaborated with a 3-person team over a 4-month production cycle to design and build a large-scale digital city experience from the ground up using Blender, Autodesk Maya, and Adobe Substance 3D Painter.
The project involved transforming an initial city layout concept into a fully realized futuristic environment featuring custom buildings, roads, parks, urban assets, characters, and cinematic sequences. I was responsible for creative direction, worldbuilding, environment design, scene composition, and coordinating production workflows across the team.
Throughout production, we solved several technical and creative challenges, including:
Optimizing oversized texture files and improving scene performance
Designing smoother cinematic scene transitions through character-driven camera movement
Managing extremely large project files and render limitations by implementing render farm workflows
Coordinating animation, texturing, sound design, and final assembly into a cohesive trailer
The final result was a polished promotional piece that successfully communicated the client’s metaverse vision and received highly positive feedback from the client.
