XYZ Technical Art Services GmbH collaborated with USC’s School of Cinematic Arts on the sci-fi short film EUROPA, produced by Erik Weaver at the Entertainment Technology Centre and directed by USC graduate Jacqueline Elyse Rosenthal. The project, set on Jupiter’s moon, served as a test bed for remote-first transcontinental collaboration and virtual production. XYZ designed the EUROPA 1 spaceship exterior and contributed full-CG shots for the film’s arrival and approach sequences, ensuring scientific plausibility and emotional resonance while integrating seamlessly with the film’s ICVFX and the director’s vision.
