This is the motion design package for the Marathon ViDoc that we created internally in the Bungie Creative Studios. We did a lot of iteration to ultimately land on this look. It as a true collaborative effort between myself and Garrett Morlan, as well as an external team at MOTHER.

Marathon holds a special place in my heart as it was a game I grew up playing and modding with Forge and Anvil. It's arguably the very thing that got me interested in being a professional creative, so it's pretty amazing to come full circle and work on the re-incarnation of the game.

I had a fun time working on developing design and animation ideas that would play in parody of the official CG Trailer that was created by ANTIBODY.TV and really enjoyed the chance to pull in a couple of freelancers to help me with production. Our big challenge with the concept art was to make a handful of concept art tell an entire story; so we used a paneled approach that could focus in on specific parts of the art and move the camera around to help tell the story in an interesting way. We really tried to lean into a beautiful mix of bold graphic design and small details that tell the story.

You can watch the full ViDoc below. I've also included some process GIFs and some of my favorite concept art animations as GIFs.
