Overview

In Q4 of 2023, Balance had the honor of collaborating with Jack Morton and Netflix to create an unforgettable visual journey for the live-action adaptation premiere of Yu Yu Hakusho in Tokyo, Japan. This ambitious project challenged our creativity and technical expertise, resulting in a groundbreaking red carpet experience.

The Project Highlights:

  • Character-Driven Visuals:
    Our team designed and animated a captivating visual narrative to introduce the series’ beloved characters, incorporating storytelling, design, VFX, and animation into a seamless hour-long spectacle.

  • Innovative 360 Experience:
    For the first time, we developed visuals for an 18-meter-high 360° platform, integrating content into a fully immersive environment that wowed the audience.

  • Unreal Engine Precision:
    Using Unreal Engine, we meticulously pre-visualized the entire event, ensuring precise timing and flawless execution. Every movement, from light colors to shape transitions, was carefully choreographed to create a synchronized show experience.

  • Global Talent Collaboration:
    Partnering with Tung Le (Crazy Monkey), a renowned visual director, and Massive Music, a global leader in sound design, the project showcased a stunning original soundtrack crafted by artists from Sydney, Singapore, London, and Amsterdam.

A Global Effort:

This monumental endeavor involved terabytes of data transferred from the heart of APAC to Japan and countless hours of collaboration across Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed their talent and passion to this project. From the smallest details to the grandest moments, every element was thoughtfully planned and executed to create an extraordinary visual experience.

Check out the breathtaking results and celebrate with us as we continue to push the boundaries of creative storytelling!
