BRAVE NEW WORLD
Territory Studio creates a unique vision of futuristic technology in NBCUniversal’s Brave New World. With a highly conceptual brief, Territory delivered a distinctive yet simple design language that seamlessly integrated near-future technology into the utopian production design. In collaboration with showrunner and executive producer David Weiner, the team designed the technology of a society in which no one wants for anything and everyone is perfectly complicit. Working across all nine episodes of the show’s first season, Territory’s team developed and delivered graphics and VFX for the future society created in Aldous Huxley’s groundbreaking novel. The technology within the world of the show is fundamental to the society and the relationships between the characters, so the execution was absolutely vital. It’s been quite an honour to be included in this project to be honest, mainly because of the relevance of Aldous Huxley’s iconic novel from where the series takes inspiration from. My principal task for this project was to help the design team at Territory to come up with a visual idea to properly blend together the AR world depicted around each character of the film. After testing out different options we all agreed that my idea of bringing in more “analog” kind of assets such as real flairs and light aberations on top of our graphic elements would have been the perfect path to follow. the final result makes everything more organic and part of a real transposition of internal thoughts and emotions. Very proud of this one! Done @ Territory Studio, London
