SISTERS IN ARMS
Short film for Rainbow Six Siege
I was responsible for representing the Ubisoft Siege team as Art Direction of the film. I oversaw and reviewed character designs, environments, lighting, VFX, simulation, facial ROM and color grading. The artists and directors of DIGIC Pictures were responsible for production. I'm very thankful to have worked with the DIGIC team in creating such an amazing story.

PROCESS
Ela
Military Concept by Andrzej Tutaj and Civilian Elite concept by Arman Akopian
Ela was the main character of the film, and we had to show her evolve over time through six different wardrobe changes. This included a style evolution that resulted in the character we know and love today.
Zofia
Zofia Ceremonial Elite concept by Andrzej Tutaj
Zofia also goes througha similar evolution, with a number of wardrobe changes. She's a stark contrast to her sister Ela in personal taste and uniform.
Smoke
Face concept by Sunshine Kim
This was the first time Smoke's face is revealed, and we wanted mousey features with large ears and dark eyes to stand out. We also had a bit of visual storytelling with the scarring on the side of his face which had to be compatible with his elite design.
IQ
Although she was hidden in the background, we had IQ representing Nighthaven Squad, and the high resolution sculpt was a lot of fun to finalize.
