Animation and Game Development.
Photon Riot Animation is a small production studio located in San Jose, California. We make short films and develop mobile games to teach scientific concepts.
Game Development
Our ideas start on paper. Designs are developed in Photoshop. Models and characters are built in Blender. Motion-capture is performed in-house. The game engine is Unity3D.
Animated Shorts
We use character driven storytelling to communicate real scientific principles in our science-fiction narratives.
Training Programs
Gaming technology and augmented reality are used to build interactive training programs for teaching subject specific protocols.
