Póster Metazells

Synopsis

Jazz, a 15-year-old teenager, is thrown into a daring adventure when he discovers Metazells, a virtual reality video game that immerses players in the incredible world of Zelltia. As soon as he takes on the identity of Bone, his in-game avatar, Jazz finds himself in the middle of an epic battle between two rival clans: the Woodies and the Wrockers, who seek to take control of the mysterious zell energy, the source of power for all of Zelltia.

In addition to adventure, humour and fantasy, ‘Metazells’ seeks to convey an environmental message. This is reflected in each side: one lives in communion with nature; the other ravages natural resources to build out-of-control cities and weapons. Here, the struggle of good against evil is also the struggle between pollution and the environment.

Did you know that…

During the early stages of the project, the studio was inspired by films such as ‘Ready Player One’, ‘Small Soldiers’ and ‘Avatar’.

CHARACTER DESIGN

Jazz / Bone

Clever, agile and determined. That’s Jazz, the 15-year-old who controls Bone in the world of ‘Metazells’. He loves video games and collectible cards, and dreams of travelling and adventures. Little does he know that he is about to experience the most unimaginable  journey of his life.

The Woodies

The good guys. They live in a densely packed forest of giant trees, with their houses built into the tree trunks themselves. They are cheerful, carefree and feel a special connection to nature and zell energy.

The Wrockers

The bad guys. These players have spread throughout Zelltia, locating zell mines and mining their energy to create more powerful and destructive weapons. They are strong, disciplined and command an unstoppable army.

EXTRAS

Our team went to great lengths to make the aesthetics of ‘Metazells’ as similar as possible to that of a video game. To do this, we designed a collection of resources: loading screens, subjective views, menus… All with the aim of completely immersing the viewer in an authentic virtual reality experience.
