Warsaw studio Juice teams with VFX pioneer/icon Scott Ross (creative producer and narrator) to conjure much drama and volumetric atmosphere in this mix of live action and CG for the fourth edition of Portugal-based digital art event Trojan Horse was a Unicorn.

Director Michał Misiński at Juice: “My main inspiration was the Manifesto written by Scott Ross and Jao Leitao. As the theme is “the Tribe Returns” I decided to use the statues from the past years (2013, 2014, 2015) – each of which has a different story behind it.

“Our hero is activating one of these statues and then the magic starts. The crystal lights up showing the way to the edge of the forest (the meeting place for all Tribe members). We spent almost a month searching before we found the right forest for the two-day shoot.”
