Meta — Benjamin Hinamanu

Introducing the Metaverse

We aimed to introduce an evolved communication form: transforming our 2D online interactions into a dynamic 3D experience, offering a true sense of presence.

We call it the Metaverse.

The Tiger and the Buffalo

In the film, a group encounters a memorable 'new reality' illustrated playfully through a Henri Rousseau painting, highlighting the Metaverse's shift from two to three dimensions.

Inspired by Rousseau

In designing our creatures, we drew inspiration from Rousseau. Each creature, including a tiger, buffalo, flamingo, jesters, monkeys, baboon, and birds, subtly nodded to the artist. The team behind "Where The Wild Things Are" turned these illustrations into dynamic puppets for our film.
