Halo Infinite LE Xbox Series X Console

CATEGORIES

DETAILS

With the Limited Edition Halo Infinite Xbox Series X console, the team at Xbox wanted to commemorate the Halo brand that players from the past 20 years know and love. By leaning into the gold paneling in on the console, I creative directed a CG spot I called "Golden Moments" in which a golden relief statue of the iconic Master Chief was melted down to forge the epic new console.

CREATIVE DIRECTION

Details

The intention behind this spot was to tap into the mythology of Halo in a powerful, yet intimate way. 

STYLEFRAME EXPLORATION

Details

With the console having a distinct paneled design, that seemed to be a great starting point for exploring styleframes by establishing the opening shots with molten gold moving through the plates of the console,created some initial styleframes with some fluid sims in X-particles

The final key art and the final shot were devloped together for a seamless transition.
