Approach

The challenge

A brand platform for a category that usually defaults to clinical CGI, aimed at an audience that distrusts it.

Creative direction

Everything is made of paper and behaves like it. Handmade imperfection kept deliberately in frame.

Production approach

Full 3D with a cloth and crumple system tuned to real paper stock, lit like a tabletop set rather than a render.

Breakdown

  • 3D

    Procedural fold and tear system driven by scanned paper samples.

  • Look

    Macro lighting with practical imperfection — dust, fibre, soft shadow falloff.
