This 20-minute project refined the visual style of previous projects and expanded it into an immersive world. Filmed on a 360-degree camera, “Heaven” proved to be an extremely ambitious project to turn into an animation. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our crew, the final project premiered in IMAX and in VR.
