Lighting up the world of iconic heroes
In 2019, Sony Interactive Entertainment launched a new company division dedicated to adapting games for cinematography.
Ahead of the first big release — premiere of the Uncharted movie, PlayStation Productions team invited us to create an opening animation that highlights brand’s identity.
Сharacters
Developing the visual appearance of the figures, we tried to emphasize their sculpture and monumentality, preserving the liveliness and realism of the depictions.
Thoroughly working on the silhouettes and subtle features of the heroes, our task was to convey their personality and depth of expression.
Space
Forming the space inside of the scene, we focused on the deep tones of the original PlayStation blue color, illuminated by the direct rays of light.
The visual departure into the depths allowed us to create a sense of large-scale limitless space and the possibilities it opens up.
Light
The third creative challenge of the project was dedicated to light. Shrill and cold, it leads us through the entire video, assuming the main narrative role in it.
Playing with the silhouettes of the characters, the beams of light pass through them, illuminating their meaningfulness and futuristic nature.
