Description:


    Digital Domain broke new ground with this cinematic launch for “Gears of War.” The entire spot was created inside Ultimate Unreal Engine 3, the same real-time engine used for the video game itself. This innovative production method gave consumers an accurate preview of the game’s textures, subtle facial expressions, and real-time rendering, as well as a look at the converging worlds of entertainment, advertising, and games.
