Challenge
In collaboration with Formlabs & Aaron Sims Creative, we set out to produce two short-form documentary films: Designing the Demogorgon & Creature Design at Aaron Sims. The goal was to highlight the innovative synergy between cutting-edge 3D printing technology to highlight how the "upsidown world" was developed & the creative mastery behind some of Hollywood's most iconic creature designs, including the famed Demogorgon from Stranger Things.
In addition, the films would be launched pior to Stranger Things second season. These films showcased the technology of the 3D printers, but also inspired a wide range of audiences from designers to entertainment enthusiasts of how the creatures come to life.
Solution
I co-produced both films, working closely with Aaron Sims Creative & the Formlabs team in following the process of creature design & how the Formlabs' 3D printing technology was used. Focused on direction, scripting, & narrative flow to ensure that the story not only celebrated the artistry of Aaron Sims but also demonstrated the power of 3D printing in modern-day creature creation. Leveraged behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with key creatives, & dynamic visuals.
Results
The documentaries successfully illuminated the intersection of creativity & technology, sparking wide industry interest & positive reception. The films enhanced both Formlabs' and Aaron Sims Creative’s reputation as leaders in their fields. In addition it kickstarted the companies partnership documentary series.
