Project Type
Forge developed Blacksteel USA’s SHOT Show 2025 booth creative and produced an in-store kiosk video designed to showcase their innovation at retail locations across the country.
We designed multiple booth backdrop concepts and supporting show signage, anchored by a hyper-real 3D Octane render highlighting Blacksteel’s precision-engineered handgun grip. In addition, we produced a kiosk-ready product video intended for display screens in gun stores nationwide, giving Blacksteel a scalable retail asset to support awareness and product consideration beyond the show floor.
3D-driven booth visuals for SHOT Show 2025, plus a retail kiosk video built for gun stores nationwide.

Results
Forge delivered a high-impact trade show presence and a scalable retail video asset that extended Blacksteel’s product story from SHOT Show to gun stores nationwide.
