Cinematic Storytelling for Final Fantasy

Machine Zone entrusted us with crafting a high-end live-action commercial for the legendary Final Fantasy franchise, designed for Connected TV platforms like Apple TV and Roku. Our goal was to create a visually compelling, cinematic experience that stayed true to Square Enix’s brand identity while maximizing audience engagement.

The process began with a rough script provided by our in-house producer. I started with rough sketches to establish shot composition and flow, refining them in Storyboarder to develop the final storyboards. Once approved, I moved into After Effects to create an animatic, ensuring the pacing and timing fit the 30-second format.

With the foundation set, our producer coordinated casting, location scouting, and a professional film crew to bring the vision to life. The result was a polished, cinematic commercial that resonated with the audience and became a top-performing ad within the Final Fantasy campaign
