For Honor Year 6 Season1 Launch Trailer

I had the chance to direct the opening trailer for the 6th season of the online Ubisoft multiplayer game For Honor. 
Working on this project was a real blast, as we decided with the For Honor team to change the approach to reveal new seasons for this 6th year of the game.
We created one ''superasset'' merging a motion graphic narrative video with gameplay capture, all in the same final video, instead of working on separate videos like the previous years.

The motion graphic part was also released as a standalone video and has been used as introduction of the game during all season one.

We first sat with the narrative team of the game in order to deeply understand all the story, the role of Ramiel, one of the first Warden who made a sacred pact with a Wyvern that affected the future history of Heathmoor.
This allowed us to establish our sandbox for both music and voice over, and clearly establish what we would include in the mograph and in the gameplay part.

For the mopgraph creation, I had the chance to collaborate with Antoine Giampaolo for the art direction and illustrations, Pierre-Olivier Nantel for the motion graphics animations and the Helix production team for the 3D parts (layout + posings). We wanted to match the very ''dreamy/fairy tale/elven world'' mood of the narrarive, and we decided to use static illustration (based of the in game models) + ink transition in order to achieve that.

For the inGame capture part, Romain Dubois and Nicolas Thomas did a grate job editing and capturing the game and blending it with the mograph asset, to tell the whole story.
