DESHINO began with a genuine photograph of a 1970s hot rod. Restoring that image uncovered more than a piece of automotive history. It revealed the beginning of a story that could continue through design.
Five examples of one story led approach taking different forms, from cinematic film and immersive digital worlds to conversational platforms, property experiences and immersive learning. The map reveals the creative and technical capabilities connected inside each project.
Create a film for ideas that cannot be captured conventionally.
The Impossible is a cinematic short created through generative production, editorial direction, original music and sound design. It shows how AI video can be shaped with the same concern for story, rhythm, continuity and emotional impact as any other production.
Narrative concept, visual development, generative filmmaking, editing, music and sound brought together as one coherent cinematic experience.
Make the brand itself part of the shopping experience.
DESHINO World transforms a conventional ecommerce journey into an explorable digital environment. Visitors move through cinematic spaces, discover the stories behind the collections, interact with film, sound and characters, and enter the store when a product captures their interest.
A live responsive storyworld connecting streamed video, spatial navigation, atmospheric sound, interactive objects, narrative content, product discovery and ecommerce across desktop and mobile.
