2025 WISHES

3D SCENOGRAPHY

A manifesto film disguised as a greeting card

The real brief wasn’t seasonal.

Every agency sends New Year’s greetings. Very few turn them into a proof of craft. For 2025, Sign & Volume chose to transform a conventional exercise into a manifesto film: condense the entire technical range into a single sequence, without letting technique overshadow emotion.

About this project

Every second is proof.

Opens with 2D motion design, transitions to a 3D object (gum dispenser rendered in two shaders, realistic and stylized). Cinematic environment: Parisian street, custom lighting, FOOH-inspired narrative. Deconstruction effects, particle simulations, typographic animation. Original soundtrack by Baptiste Thiry, synchronized frame by frame.

The solution

Problem solved. By Design.

6 techniques, 1 film

2D motion, 3D modeling, animation, particle simulation, VFX compositing, sound design: the full spectrum in a single sequence.

2 shaders, 1 coherence

One object rendered in both realistic and stylized versions. No graphic break.

1 original soundtrack

Custom music composed by Baptiste Thiry, synchronized frame by frame.

The result

Expertise: 2D motion design · 3D modeling & animation · Custom lighting · Particle simulation · VFX compositing · Color grading · Sound design · Art direction
