We worked under the leadership of award-winning director Zach Kerschberg. He appointed Apeship with guiding the visual direction of the movie, the entire film is packed with MAGIC; from VFX, animation, costumes, puppet building to props, and even some acting. Almost every shot in the movie went through our studio.
We took on so many roles and got so involved, that our creative producer was awarded a Co-producer role in the film.
We also had the pleasure of working directly with students at the Academy of Art University, visiting StudioX weekly to uphold the visual language, building a long-lasting relationship with the school program.
