A Jester’s Tale - Sundance Film Festival 2019

  • Cecilia Bianchini

A Jester’s Tale is the second XR movie directed by Asad J. Malik. The piece runs on Magic Leap and stages the story of a mum telling her kid a bedtime story. The user is lead through and controls the plot itself, by answering questions put by an AI that tries to discover whether the viewer is a human or a robot. I joined the team last July working as Unity Visual Designer in a group of 3 people, together with a Sound Designer and Unity Engineer. The project premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2019.

DEPARTMENT OF DIGITAL INTEGRITY
The experience starts with a Recaptcha Test interrogating the viewer on behalf of the Department of Digital Integrity. The goal of the test, is to discover whether the user is a human or a robot.
By answering the questions, the user is led throughout the whole plot and the test itself, while interacting with the characters appearing.
This is the logo I designed for the Department of Digital Integrity. Below you can see the 2D version I started from; and its 3D development in the AR scene.
