City of Gold

City of Gold

Dom Tomato brings his fearless freerunning back, this time leaping across Johannesburg’s golden skyline. Battling through four intense levels, each sequence demands pinpoint precision, daring trick combos, and gravity-defying jumps.

Working with Andrew Kirkby’s sharp editing, I created a real life video game world reminiscent of retro arcade video games. I created custom typography for the titles and voxel style 3D video game elements for this piece, that were compositing onto the live-action footage of Dom turning his real stunts across Johannesburg into an immersive video game world.
