The Project

For Alan Walker's 10th anniversary of "Faded", we created a fully CG-animated official film celebrating a decade of iconic music. No live-action shoots. No location costs. Just pure cinematic world-building.

The script evolved from a direct biography into a universal story about the courage to create and the community that lifts us up. We built the narrative around key visual metaphors (like Alan's late dog Happy and the glowing screen of FL Studio) to represent the warmth our passions bring.

We approached this production like a live-action film, grounding the story in tangible, human origins. We built a 1:1 digital replica of the iconic Linnahall arena and reconstructed Alan's 2015 bedroom using archival photos. The finale was built to represent the scale of the community he built; using a custom pipeline in Blender and Cycles, we rendered a crowd of 50,000 unique animated fans.
