ROLE
Director, Creative Director, Project Lead, Developer
PROJECT GOAL
Our client was Mars4, a large NFT and Metaverse creator.
The client asks to make the following scope: build a mix of:
- Mars SuperRare NFT land plot exploration in VR building and 3D models of them;
- Build in VR Town/Country related great experiences which can be moved to Mars (Buildings, Music, Art);
- Some games, aka Speedslide, Roller Coaster, Skydiving;
- Get some more emotions if it is a first-time user with a VR experience;
- Each NFT with VR becomes an actual State of ART;
- 15–30 min length.
- It should be related to Dubai and Newton Crater = NEW DUBAI!

SOLUTION
So our main goal was to recreate Dubai on Mars and make an exciting and action VR video.
Also crucial that timings should be close to 15 minutes. For all this, we agreed on a crazy 16 weeks deadline. We made everything from scratch, starting with an idea, concept, and storyboard and finishing with VR 13:15 min video.
The project was a great challenge for us; we created about 12 levels with dynamic plots and scenes for just watching and relaxing.
For example, in the scene with the Mars rover, we take an actual sound recording from mars. Flying over Dubai and the mars scene was also challenging because tests show that some users were swayed and nauseous from the violent flight.
Therefore, we decided to use unique handrails on the flight instrument. The viewer focused his eyes thanks to them, and motion sickness stopped. Unfortunately, the deadline was rescheduled for three months because of the war invasion in Ukraine. But even with this force majeure, we finished the project successfully.
Now you can enjoy watching it on Oculus Quest 2 or another VR headset.
Rendered in Unreal Engine 4.
