A New Concept
While building and editing Armonia inside a “game engine” (a powerful software that hosts and exports massive image and audio files), we discovered a new production workflow we are calling PSi.
Today, major media productions are marketed as brands. No longer is the task simply to create a film. Producers must enrich the film’s brand with a behind the scenes series, content across major social media channels, a sound track, a mobile experience, etc.
Armonia Festa is a production concept that leverages the technical power of a game engine to create these transmedia experiences at 20% the average cost of today’s major media productions.
