About the project
Prodigy is back with a thrilling challenge that put our creativity to the test!
Our mission?
Creating an awe-inspiring animated trailer to announce the grand arrival of their new game expansion. Brace yourself as we delve into the captivating world of this project, where every frame pulsates with action and excitement!
At the heart of this venture lies a unique teaser format, where brevity reigns supreme, accompanied by the perfect harmony of music and sound design. The viewer is instantly plunged into a whirlwind of adventure, leaving little room for formal introductions. As animation experts, we embraced this exhilarating challenge, mastering the art of pacing to hold the viewer's attention until the very last second.
Development
Witness the birth of our main character, meticulously crafted from scratch, drawing inspiration from the captivating manga style. We set our sights high, taking cues from the acclaimed Brawl Stars : Summer of Monsters by VCRWORKS and the mesmerizing Moonbirds by Golden Wolf.
As we adapted the game's character designs to our unique graphic style, a world of creativity unfolded before us. The animation process was a symphony of stop motion for the characters, complemented by a dynamic combination of 3D and 2D animation for the breathtaking backgrounds.

Project Management
Creativity extended even to project management. From inception to the grand finale, we embraced constant improvements and adaptations. Handling a multi-layered image, multiplied by frames per second, demanded both focus and an open-minded approach to embrace change.
The art of Sound
The art of sound design added another layer of magic to this enthralling production. Working alongside the immensely talented Robert Ostiak, our long-standing collaborator, we faced the challenge of crafting audio that not only met the client's expectations but also complemented each animation fragment flawlessly. A 35-second masterpiece, with soaring expectations we willingly embraced.
