Raid: World War II

Raid: World War II – a cinematic trailer for an action packed game from Starbreeze/LionGameLion.

The story evolves  around four strong characters that are forced to work together behind enemy lines, raiding nazi strongholds and creating havoc. Our creative approach aimed at suspension rather than action. We were inspired by classic WWII thrillers and built the story around the characters and the dynamics within their tight little group. In a story like this, location and settings are just as important as the characters. We started out by researching neoclassical architecture as well as art deco design, and really enjoyed ourselves setting the stage for a classic suspense heist scene played out during a stormy night deep inside enemy territory.

The film won the “Best Animation” Award at Roygalan 2017.

This is how we created the trailer.
