The Minus

VFX for the motion music picture “The Minus”

A Motion Music Picture

Of all the projects we’ve had the pleasure to work on, this certainly is one of the most fun. The creative powerhouse that is Studio Superplus invited us to collaborate on their project The Minus — a venture so vast in scale on every front that it truly beggars belief — and it might soon evolve from the motion music picture it is today into a full-fledged Hollywood franchise...

We were fortunate to join the project early, allowing us to contribute across multiple stages and disciplines.

Our scope of work included production design, on-set VFX supervision, keying, modeling, visual effects, set extensions, texturing, shading, lighting, rendering, and post-production.

It’s been a blast from start to finish, and we’re proud to have been part of this journey. We can’t wait to see The Minus on the big screen!

Concept art

Multiple water towers rising above a thick layer of clouds or fog, with a cloudy sky in the background.

Concept art

Final Frame

A digital rendering of an indoor technological or industrial space with walls and ceiling made of complex metal frameworks, multiple angled supports, and some red lights on the side walls.

Blocking

A hand-drawn diagram of a philosophical or scientific concept, with handwritten notes and sketches on white paper. The notes reference topics like the grand echo, megalo maniacs, dualism of hope and belief, and discussions about science from 1920 to 1950, as well as drawings of stacks of books and a schematic of a device or structure.
