Dune: Awakening
We were very happy to team up with renowned visionary artist/author/director Simon Stålenhag and our friends at Funcom to create this teaser trailer for Funcom’s upcoming game “Dune: Awakening”, based on the Legendary Pictures’ feature film adaptation and the classic sci-fi books by Frank Herbert.
“The collaboration with Goodbye Kansas Studios and Funcom to create this trailer was an incredible opportunity for me to explore a tiny sliver of the legendary Dune universe. I really enjoy working with Goodbye Kansas Studios since they immediately understand what I’m looking for even though my ideas might seem strange at times. Every part of this project was a delight for me – from concepts, mocap to compositing, and to work on something as deep and rich as the Dune universe was nothing short of an honor and privilege,” comments Simon Stålenhag.
