HOME

Hydra Studios

HOME was made by a team of industry professionals all giving their time for free to create content with a simple global awareness message related to climate change. We wanted to showcase what we could achieve with CG in terms of quality and with emotional engagement. It’s very much focused on pushing photoreal digital character work. The subject matter is very timely, though when we started in October last year the world seemed like a very different place. Now the message is even more powerful. Many of us are from a background of creating game trailers and wanted to produce a very different kind of content that anyone can relate to.

From the creator:

When HOME started production in October 2019 our world seemed a different place. The film completed in April 2020. Its message is still as important - perhaps even more so.

DON’T LET OUR HOME BECOME A MEMORY
