We worked with Arknights, a mobile video game, on creating a memorable promotional video for their initial release. We were able to bring their vision to life through VFX storytelling elements that give the viewers a glimpse into how it feels to play their mobile video game.

‍

To start, we enhanced the coloring throughout the video to make it more visually appealing. We then used screen comp to replace the green screen and feature the game on every shot of the mobile phone, giving the illusion that the talent is actively playing the game throughout the video. We also used an environment window comp throughout the video to make it seem like the stationary bus is in motion.  

‍

We created a 3D cow that is seen hurtling through the sky, first as a window reflection comp from the bus driver’s perspective, and then as a part of the 3D environment that is seen through the bus window by other passengers. This 3D environment was created by us to display an apocalyptic storm atmosphere that is seemingly being controlled by our video gamer as he plays the game. The game is set in a dystopian, apocalyptic setting similar to the one we created, further tying in the VFX elements to the games storyline.
