Sony unveiled its latest sci-fi western combat video game, Starhawk, at E3 – the world’s largest video game conference.

Imaginary Forces‘ Director Grant Lau and VFX Supervisor Alex Frisch created a futuristic world filled with spaceships, ATV’s, robotic fighters, and massive explosions entirely in CG.

Imaginary Forces collaborated with 3rd Floor, who did the pre-visualization and motion capture, and Spatial Harmonics Group, who did some of the visual effects for us: fume, exhaust, thruster, and dirt/dust.

Elements based on the game assets were given a cinematic feel as the viewer is introduced to the lead character and his story.
