THE BRIEF

Wonderla’s request was to create a custom CGI film that would introduce the park's mascots in a thrilling action-adventure where Chikku emerges as the hero who "saves the day" with the help of his friends.

They aimed to replace outdated and low-quality content with a high-quality production that would lay the foundation for brand development through its mascots, and opportunities for dedicated merchandise.

WHAT WE DID

We collaborated closely with Wonderla Holidays Limited to replace their old, low-quality content with a dynamic and engaging CGI film for their 5D cinema, demanding precise integration of hard effects triggered in the theater to enhance the immersive experience.

Red Raion took on the full production, utilizing the park's existing characters while adapting and enhancing them as per the client's directions.

We also collaborated with Lorien McKenna for the story and with Ron Fish for the soundtrack.

Our team employed state-of-the-art software to bring this vision to life, focusing on detailed character development and visually-driven storytelling to compensate for the absence of dialogue.

We meticulously crafted each character, with Chikku’s design following the existing template while new designs were created for other characters, each tailored to fit their unique personalities and roles within the story.

We faced tight deadlines and the challenge of introducing 5 characters in a 5-minute film without dialogue: obstacles that we overcame through constant planning, monitoring, and leveraging visual storytelling techniques.

This project pushed our boundaries, requiring innovative character presentation and dynamic camera action to create a seamless and engaging experience.

The result of this collaboration is a high-quality immersive experience that aligns perfectly with Wonderla's brand development goals.
