TEAM

Who are we? Backlight Studio is a Creative Factory in tune with the top creative trends.
Backlight Studio has developed through his core know-how, CG animation. Gaining the trust of its customers and partners, it is around two axes that its evolution has occurred: Audiovisual production (CG Animation and Motion Design, 2D animation, filming and post production) and the creation of interactive experiences (augmented Reality, application development & advergames).

"(We wanted) to go further.

Further in terms of narrative, further in terms of art direction,

and further in terms of graphics and sound quality…"

Why this project? Well, because at Backlight Studio, we figured out immediately the potential of Oculus Rift. A feeling embodied in the first experiments we were able to try on the first development kit. Convinced by the potential of the medium, we decided to create our own experience.

How is it different? The first experiments developed under Oculus were unique. For the first time, we found ourselves in total immersion in virtual worlds. Of course, it is the "roller coasters" that have marked us : That was incredible But once the "wow" effect past, what was left? A desire to do it again, for sure, and then a desire to go further. Further in terms of narrative, further in terms of art direction, and further in terms of graphics and sound quality... This is the challenge we asked ourselves.

Sound Design / Music

It is thanks to our partners Mooders that the sound design of this experiment has been achieved. Without musics and sound effects, any immersive experience, as beautiful as it is, would be incomplete. Many thanks to them for their involvement!
