Perception

We’re pleased to be featured in Issue #46 – Predator: Badlands!

Perception created 100+ VFX shots for Predator: Badlands, designing immersive, particle-driven Predator tech alongside clean, efficient Weyland-Yutani interfaces. Predator graphics constantly evolve, forming planets, creatures, and information, while Weyland-Yutani systems remain structured, with occasional glitches hinting at corrupted data. From holographic spaceship displays to lab interfaces, our visuals bring the film’s advanced technology to life.

Huge thanks to Ian Failes and everyone involved in building the world of Predator: Badlands.

Detroit’s own crime-fighter has officially taken his place in the Motor City. After nearly 15 years of effort and fan support, an 11-foot, 3,500-pound bronze RoboCop statue now stands in Eastern Market — a tribute to one of cinema’s most enduring characters.

Stories like this, where imagination and cultural legacy meet, always resonate with us. Our team had the opportunity to design the futuristic tech and in-film interfaces for the RoboCop reboot, helping visualize Detroit 2028 with HUDs, large-screen graphics, and broadcast elements.

A fun reminder of how film design can influence how we think about cities, technology, and heroes. Explore our RoboCop case study on our site💡

So exciting to see Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror film Sinners earn seven Golden Globe nominations. The Perception team is incredibly grateful to have played a small role by bringing its powerful opening moments to life.

We’re proud to celebrate 24 years of Perception — a journey filled with so much creativity, collaboration, and world-building.

To mark the milestone, Co-Founders Jeremy Lasky and Danny Gonzalez will host a livestream on Wednesday, December 3rd, sharing favorite projects, behind-the-scenes insights, special memories, and what the Perception team has learned over the years.

We’re thrilled and deeply honored that our work on the prologue sequence for Sinners will soon be on display at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The sequence demanded an intimate, handcrafted approach—reflecting the gritty 1930s world of the film.

Drawing on extensive historical and cultural research, we collaborated with linocut illustrator Mike Black to explore real textures and materials, which we then translated into a fully digital sequence that captures the tactile, grounded feel of the world of Sinners.
