Marathon
The Beginning
Director Harmony Korine launches Bungie's reboot of their Marathon game franchise with action, atmosphere, and arresting camera work in this music video and cinematic. To pull it off, they brought on Yates Holley as Head of CG, who staffed the entire IT, pipeline, CG, and mocap teams, alongside CG Supervisor John Kim.
Concept
The film was constructed as a fully CG work within an Unreal-based pipeline and leans into stylized realism and aggressive visual pacing.
Process
Environments, FX, and animation are treated less as individual disciplines and more as a unified system, shaping a world that feels already in motion. The result is a fully CG piece built for density and clarity at once.
