A Showreel You Can Walk Through
We’ve always believed that how you present your work should be as creative as the work itself. So instead of sending out another traditional showreel link, we decided to turn ours into a game.
This project is an alpha build of a small Unreal Engine experience where you play as our TinToy logo icon, moving through a series of environments that double as our interactive showreel.
It’s playful, a little weird, and very much us.
If a game isn't for you, you can just watch our showreel HERE.
Why a Game?
Over the past while, TinToy Films has been exploring Unreal Engine as a new creative tool in our toolkit - not just for virtual production, but for storytelling, world-building, and interactive ideas.
This project started as a technical experiment:
What if a showreel wasn’t something you watched… but something you explored?
The result is this alpha experience - part game, part portfolio, and a glimpse into how we’re thinking about interactive storytelling going forward.
⚠️ A Quick Alpha Disclaimer
Because this is an early build, there are a few things to be aware of:
The game is streamed from a server → If the server is full, please be patient, it’s worth the wait.
Performance can vary → If things feel laggy, try again a little later.
Prefer a smoother experience? → You can also download the game and play it locally on your machine.
We’re actively working through performance tweaks, bugs, and polish, every session helps us improve it.
What’s Next?
This is not a finished product. We’ll be:
Adding new levels
Refining gameplay and performance
Expanding the environments and interactions
Updates will drop regularly, so keep an eye on our socials for new builds and releases.
