Women in Games Launches 2026 Manifesto to Rebalance the Global Games Industry
January 29, 2026
Anecdote Studio (aka directing duo Vincent Raineri & Sebastien Camden) join fellow Montreal creatives at prodco L’ÉLOI for a mixed-media experiment designed to “capture the anxiety sparked by today’s relentless hyperconnectivity”.
Vincent Raineri and Sebastien Camden: “Our process began with detailed storyboards outlining each scene’s composition and rhythm. From there, we blocked and tested all camera movements through a streamlined pre-visualization workflow.
“The film reveals how genuine human connection can act as a powerful remedy, drawing us back to a deeper and more authentic experience of life.”
“This approach ensured maximum efficiency when operating with our robotic arm, allowing us to fine-tune motion paths and timing with precision before arriving on set.
“The film reveals how genuine human connection can act as a powerful remedy, drawing us back to a deeper and more authentic experience of life while guiding us to embrace innovations that may feel unsettling at first.”
