THQ Nordic wanted something special to showcase the breathtaking animals and landscapes that feature in the Tikamoon Plains DLC as Way of the Huner headed to Africa for the first time. Epic, stirring and beautiful were the obvious watchwords for this asset. Our team worked in-engine to capture choreographed shots inspired by the best of contemporary wildlife documentary cinematography. This cinematics heavy piece also featured select gameplay capture where the artistic ambition for the overall vision could be fulfilled. Capturing each of the animals, including gazelles, geese and buffalos, required filming each in the authentic environments where they would be found in real life and at the right time of day to satisfy a demanding watching audience. Gameplay features were also subtly revealed, with the honey badger showcasing the game’s real-time grass simulation. A stirring soundtrack and beautiful sound design sets the mood perfectly. And of course, we couldn’t resist a Lion King inspired shot as a lion overlooks animals thundering across the plains below. Need to make your next announcement roar? Drop us a line.
