Aspire Academy's 20th Anniversary Celebration

-.618 and OOPS TEAM collaborated to deliver a video for the 20th anniversary celebration of Aspire Academy, Qatar's internationally recognised national sports development school. Commissioned by Bizarre Creative and executive produced by Nezrin Agayeva, the creative team ultimately produced thirty minutes of high-resolution visuals, which covered a width of 30,000 pixels, in just fourteen days.

PROCESS

Notch + Cinema 4D + Unreal Engine

With OOPS TEAM spearheading stage and lighting design, -.618 concentrated on building out a cinematic slate of visuals, unabashed in their pursuit to elevate the show. The team implemented Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine for specific scenes but ended up crafting the majority of the project in Notch, first for preview.

OOPS TEAM handled stage and lighting design; -.618 produced visuals in Notch, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine for Aspire Academy anniversary.
