How it gets made
The craft behind the models
Generation is one step. The rest is the same craft any studio answers for.
3D first
Sets, vehicles and cameras are built in Blender before a frame is generated, so every shot holds its place.
Sound and score
Original songs and scores, sound design and Foley, mixed and mastered in Logic Pro.
Color and finish
Conform, color grade and delivery in DaVinci Resolve, shot by shot.
Advanced models
Image, video and voice models directed by people, with a quality check on every cut.
Onchain
Sovereign Mint turns releases into collectibles: record visuals, film passes and the stories behind the work.
Web
This site, its music catalog and its admin tools are designed and built in-house.
Games
Sankofa Prime, a playable prototype where you design a character and step into an AF3 world. In development.
Spatial
Iron Veins: Legends rebuilt for Apple Vision Pro, the headset's front door to every AF3 world. In development.
