THE UNLIT

“THE UNLIT” is Unformat Studio’s inaugural virtual film experience. It’s described as a cinematic showcase of their distinctive virtual production workflow, highlighting the enchantment made possible by real-time technology.

The film premiered at UNcinema, with its debut on August 16, 2024, featuring a Thai version, followed by an English version on August 17, 2024

Cyrus James Khan was responsible for all VAD (Virtual Art Department) work on THE UNLIT by Unformat Studio. He designed and built the virtual environments, prepared assets for real-time rendering, and ensured each scene was optimized for the virtual production pipeline. His contributions spanned the full scope of the VAD process—from concept development to final implementation—providing the visual foundation that supported the film’s innovative real-time cinematic workflow.
