AI OVERREACHING?
There’s no rogue AI that Okta can’t stop — as proven in the opening film for Oktane, their annual flagship event. Diving into a digital fantasy of comedy and code with co-directors Chris Finn and Michael Tavarez, we built a visual system of geometry and motion that shows how Okta stays one step ahead. Engineered chaos and tactile deformations bring physicality to ones and zeros as we lead audiences through digital worlds and vibrant live action sets. The story of Okta becomes a playful yet poignant reminder that the best defense doesn't have to be boring.
