Your work isn’t just about visuals; it evokes feelings. From 3D mapping to surreal environments, you dive deep into immersive storytelling. What inspired this focus, and how did the studio come to be?
Honestly! Chaosea was born from creative chaos - something that defies boxes, screens, frames, and rules. We were just a group of creative misfits who had outgrown the ordinary and refused to stay within the confines of tradition. Our goal was to create visuals that provoke a reaction, transforming them into an experience that fosters true connection. After all, if it doesn’t stir something inside, what’s the point of creating it?
At Chaosea, immersive storytelling evolved naturally from our diverse backgrounds in CG, Gaming, VFX, and Animation. What began as small experiments developed into our design philosophy: immersion is not just a medium, but a way to tell stories that extend beyond screens.
From commercials, cinematics, product visualisation, hyperreal environments, pre- and post-production, anamorphic, and event content to real-time interactive content, every project we undertake today is born from that core belief.
Tell us about the team behind your collective of creative innovators. How do your skills blend, and how has that influenced your work?
At Chaosea, we reject traditional hierarchies in favour of a creative ecosystem. Our collective is a space where various disciplines converge, and collaboration fuels creativity. Our team brings together diverse expertise, ranging from CG commercials to hyper-real environments and visualisations, all crafted with precision, intention, and a clear vision.
Let’s discuss the most challenging aspect of creative work; pricing. When your projects involve installations, VFX-heavy spots, or stage visuals, how do you estimate their value?
Our services, whether for small-scale or large-scale visuals, involve more than just a creative estimate of pricing; they provide a strategic framework aimed at delivering measurable impact. We create tailored experiences that align with your brand vision, engage target audiences, and drive both emotional and commercial outcomes.
We begin by clarifying the project’s strategic intent and its objectives beyond mere aesthetics. From there, we outline the execution structure, including creative ideation, technical research and development, production pipelines, and delivery systems.
We believe that pricing should be a transparent conversation rather than just a number. It’s a roadmap that helps us align your ambitions with what is feasible, allowing us to create something truly unforgettable. Our goal is not just to produce visuals; it’s to generate value and impact that resonates with your audience.
In many studios, the creative process ends with file delivery. However, Chaosea includes factors like projection scale, physical context, and audience reaction. How does this complexity impact timelines, team bandwidth, and costs?
