Four directors from across the Hornet studio- from 2D to 3D to live action- came together to create this imaginative campaign using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro.
Sofia Wylie's captivating performance was directed by Bennett Johnson and set the stage for Natalie Labarre's "Forest", Eric Lane's "Colossus", and Jay & Jin's "Theatre".
To bring these distinct worlds to life, the team used Procreate, Procreate Dreams, Nomad Sculpt, Adobe Photoshop for iPad, Adobe Illustrator for iPad, Naomi, Shapr, DaVinci Resolve, & Final Cut. The live action performance was shot on iPhone.
