Game Awards is a ceremony which honors the best video games of the year, watched live streamed across sixteen different content platforms worldwide.
The theme of the 2016 Game Awards was ‘altering reality’, with a focus on how the immersion of VR gaming helps us escape the reality of everyday. I was approached to direct this promotional teaser, and with the team at We Are Seventeen, we got it ready just in time for the 2016 event. The sequence is a study of how the realms of our reality and virtual reality can become twisted making the player question where her world ends and the other begins.
