The “Contact” sequence is the opening of The Daft Punk Experience, an interactive real-time project developed in Unreal Engine for Fortnite. Inspired by the closing track of Random Access Memories, the scene follows the Daft Punk robots on a cinematic journey through space, guided by a mysterious signal and referencing key moments from their visual legacy. The experience was later adapted and released as the official music video for “Contact”.
I was hired by Magnopus through MPM25 as a VFX Artist to develop the real-time “Contact” sequence. I created the Accelerator Tunnel scene, including 3D assets, animation, lighting, VFX and interactive behavior, all optimized for cross-platform performance. My goal was to translate abstract narrative concepts into cohesive real-time visuals that supported the experience’s emotional arc and aesthetic direction.
