PROJECTS
WIINDIGOO
Wiindigoo is an original game concept developed from an early idea into a tangible creative proposition. World and character development, gameplay exploration, presentation materials and a proof-of-vision film work together to communicate the experience, establish its identity and demonstrate its potential.
Before the characters of Unknown 9 existed in final form, they lived primarily through concepts and illustrations. Working from Reflector's existing creative direction, the photographic campaign translated those characters into a tangible human presence for the franchise's global reveal across books, podcasts and other forms of storytelling.
ABOUT
Hi !
My name is Christian
I’m Christian Tremblay, a director and visual storyteller working across film, photography and video games. I spent much of my career directing national and international advertising campaigns, building images and films around ideas that often existed only on paper.
That experience eventually brought me into video games, first as an external director during the early development of an AAA project at Eidos-Montréal, and later as its Cinematic Director.
Combined with my recent training in game design, these experiences led to BEFORE — a flexible creative production structure built to help game teams turn early intentions into tangible, compelling work.
