The Ponchiqs universe in motion: a short film, action trailers, arcade promotions and character performances.
- My role
- Creative direction, animation & game design
- Context
- Ponchiqs
My contribution
- Took responsibility for creative direction and animation, alongside my broader game design and production work at Ponchiqs.
- Carried the characters and brand language into trailers, character films and promotional sequences.
Context
A game universe needs a life beyond its interface. Characters, environments and a recognisable tone have to carry across short films, trailers and promotional clips.
What I did
I shaped the creative direction, animation and game design across Ponchiqs. In these films I carried the same cast from a story-led lake setting to action sequences, arcade promotion and short character performances, bringing the visual language and timing together.
Result
Selected films show the range of the universe: narrative, gameplay promotion, character animation and campaign work, presented together in a playable film collection.
