Reteaming with Wizards of the Coast for a 3rd Magic: The Gathering trailer, Paris studio Unit Movement Design constructs a collection of dramatic tableaux for the sci-fi/horror enlargement Phyrexia: All Will Be One.
UMD CD/co-founder François-Côme du Boistesselin: “The trailer illustrates the resistance of the heroes to the Phyrexian invasion by way of a big freeze-frame battle composition the place dazzling white porcelain statues face hordes of creatures coated in Phyrexian oil, step by step swallowing up any hope of victory.
“This graphic confrontation ends with the imposing throne of Helesh Norn composed of hundreds of statues of troopers who perished in entrance of it.
“To make this trailer, we modeled greater than 70 statues in HD together with 10 with facial features captures primarily based on 3D scans made at Scan Engine in Paris.
“Due to the keenness of the Magic participant group, the video reached 3.5M views in a number of hours and the trailer fulfilled its position as hundreds of feedback illustrate the fan hype for the primary Elesh Norn look as a CG character.”
