Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In the near future, London is in chaos and your freedom is about to be taken away. Not exactly the new world you dreamed of? Don't worry, it's still just a game, and you can change all that.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The main objective of this film was to show the “where” and “when” of the game, which is very clearly a dystopian London on the near future. We carefully avoided a cyborg queen and cloned horse-guards but prefered a taxi of yesterday and drones of tomorrow.

Tell the jury about the production design / art direction. You may wish to comment on choices, challenges or effects.

We wanted to propose, far from the communication codes of video games, an almost pictorial experience going so far as to include typographical and sometimes abstract elements to an already very assertive graphic universe.
