Company of Heroes 3 - Cinematic Trailer
Abstract: The full CG trailer is an impression of the events during the occupation of the Italian territory by German troops. Building faithful models of the weapons and vehicles required the use of mapping. To give the viewer a sense of authenticity, we carried out mocap sessions and we used 3D scans of actors' silhouettes and faces to create the proper models. Every single element of the set - costumes, explosion, movement, and each facial expression was designed individually. All materials were prepared by our team. The customer was involved in the works on the script and was responsible for the final sound of the film.

Depths of Night

We would like to create a new and significant visual style. In the storytelling, we use an interesting way to present the dream’s world , the real life world and the daydreaming world. It is really an enormous challenge to plan the transitions of linking up those 3 different worlds together.

Resident Evil - Village
Abstract: The animation provides a cinematic introduction, as well as an ending, to the latest game in the Resident Evil series. The film is a fairy-tale metaphor for the events from the game. The project was entirely created by Platige Image, from the initial concept and script, through character design, graphic design, and all stages of animation, to the final audio layer. The uniqueness of the project required us to adopt an unconventional work style. We did a lot of preparation related to texturing, shaders and lighting to make the final animation look like a paper cut-out with many layers. Also, to get an effect similar to a traditional shadow theater game, we decided to use stop-motion animation instead of the motion capture technique. Add to this unique mâché paper and cut-outs, from which we made the characters and scenography, and we have a dark story, which only seemed to be directed to children. Moreover, all characters in the film are original creations designed by the director and are the fairy-tale alter egos of the characters from of the cult game Resident Evil.

SKII - Kasumi Ishikawa ‘VS Pressure
Abstract: The main character of 'VS Pressure' is table tennis star, Kasumi Ishikawa. In a neon-lit futuristic city, plagued by questions, she must fight the most important battle of her career - against her self-doubt and social pressure.The animation is part of an anthology featuring the stories of six exceptional female medalists from various sports.The film is highly stylized and surreal. Producing such images requires improvisation, searching for new forms, and departing from photorealistic assumptions. While cheating the laws of physics in our animated film, we had to be careful not to make it look grotesque. It was a very artistic process based on close collaboration between animators and our director. We did not use Motion Capture Motion Capture techniques. We animated the characters using a "on twos" technique, based on methods known from classical animation. In combination with hand-animated 2D effects such as smoke, streaks, or sparks, we created a coherent, highly stylized image.

YELLOWSTONE 88 - Song of Fire
Abstract: In the summer of 1988 dry lightning sparked a fire in the parched and drought ridden landscape of Yellowstone Park, igniting a blaze that would over months scorch more than 1.5 million perimeter acres of the park. Song of Fire, the narrative poem that guides the animation, tells the story of the conflagration which raged unabated until a snow of such intense severity extinguished the flames. That winter surviving Fauna, exhausted from fire and weakened by hunger, die in greater numbers than those claimed by the fire. The cosmos turns from one season to another and another and life in the park begins anew.
