Ninja Protocol - ARPG
a Play to earn game
I was approached by the team behind Ninja Protocol, a striking new ARPG linked to the blockchain where everything you loot has a real value.
Either it is your health items, your awesome legendary sword or your tanky armor, every items you own can be traded to other players with Cryptos. To tease their new game to the world, the team behind Ninja Protocol wanted a Cinematic Trailer to tease the world they are building and their universe.
Game & Trailer Concept
In an ancient time of Shoguns and Samurais, Ninjas were employed by Shoguns to work secretly in the shadows, loyal only to one master.
Their training was hard and required focus and strong will to serve their Shogun, but those who passed their trials were trusted with the most difficult and secret missions.
Either to spy other Shoguns, to scout the position of enemy forces without been discovered, or to assassinate rival targets, Ninjas masterfully use their skills towards their mission goal.
Case Study
01 - STYLEFRAME BOARD
Before doing any previz, I like to complete a full styleframe board. I feel it's more natural to think about the framing, lighting and shading prior to animation, because it's easier to have an awesome looking frame and then add a layer of animation vs the other way around.
02 - POST PRODUCTION
Here's a before & after preview at different frames. On the left is placed the raw render, and, on the right, the edited frame.
THANK YOU
