Since many of you asked, the video features our 1.5 × 1.5 metre gradient posters.
They were printed directly from the toolkit's output at 8000 × 8000 px (sRGB), exported as PDF, and sent straight to the printer.
The material we use is plastic tarpaulin: waterproof, highly durable, and incredibly tough.
And yes—the video is real, not AI. It was filmed on the streets of Tokyo last Monday.

What am I missing?
Do I need to say anything about Studio Dumbar? No. Do you need to hear what Studio Dumbar is? Absolutely not and you should be properly ashamed if you do. Watch and learn, they have new stuff. These people never stop.
