Forza Horizon 5 LE Controller

CATEGORIES

DETAILS

What is it like to hold a racing festival in your hands? That was the starting point for product reveal of Xbox's new Forza Limited Edition Controller. I responsible for developing the motion design concept for the spot, which included designing style frames, exploring key art, and creating product renders.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

Details

The creative direction centered around several key elements. Colored powder explosions, burnouts, light sttreaks, festifal lighting, and automotive & controller mechanical components. 

Styleframe Exploration

Details

Using colorful powder explosions and smoke set against the backdrop of high performance cars and Forza Horizon Festival footage, we developed a high-energy piece that brought all the festival elements together while highlighting the controller’s unique automotive features. When building out the styleframes, I used Cinema 4D and X-particles, and Redshift for the smoke simulations.
