An epic space odyssey celebrating the unique partnership between Tissot and UFO Robot Grendizer.
-
Continuing our creative relationship with Tissot, we were over the moon when this brief landed on our desk. It asked how can we celebrate the partnership of Tissot’s iconic PRX model, alongside iconic Manga character, UFO Robot Grendizer, in one film?
Our idea “Forged by Fusion” was the backbone to our execution, which drove creative decisions throughout the duration of the project both visually and sonically. The concept speaks to the coming together of Tissot and UFO Robot Grendizer when forging this product, as well as our elevation of this concept. Honouring the 2D drawn world that Grendizer inhabits, with the real 3D product world of Tissot, we knew the film had to be a hybrid animation execution.
Accompanying audio by BXFTYS creates a cinematic and immersive soundscape, weaving together layers of 70s inspired sound effects and a dramatically modern sci-fi musical score.

Development
Many rounds of creative development took place in designing and building our worlds and universe. We had to strike the right balance of combining Tissot’s precise engineering and craftsmanship with the positive nostalgia and stylised world of Go Nagai’s UFO Robot Grendizer. -
