Project

Microsoft -Xbox One Reveal Video

The final project that Superfad produced was this video. The video was used as the revealing act for Microsoft's Xbox One gaming console that was unveiled during a world-wide announcement ceremony in May of 2013. It was displayed on the main giant screen during the ceremony, and also full-screen during the live television coverage. As one of the compositors, I was responsible for establishing the overall environment of the piece. In addition, I composited many shots in their entirety including the Xbox One Controller shots. The collaboration of everyone involved in the project is what helped propel its stunning and realistic aesthetic. This was a classic high-caliber piece by Superfad that marked the end of their run as one of the industry's greatest studios.
