A fanmade book trailer for Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy, a dark, dramatic fantasy YA series with a Russian-inspired setting that's getting a Netflix adaptation in 2020.
The art direction evokes paper cutouts and the idea of puppetry, a reflection on the themes of power and control in the book, using strong color contrasts that speak to the series' themes of morality and evil. The trailer is set to Lorde's cover of Everybody Wants to Rule The World.
All assets were made in Adobe Photoshop and then animated in Adobe After Effects.
