[Video] “Big chase” animated trailer. Behind the scenes
https://youtu.be/1k0OeBJ3hW4
Hello!
It’s no secret that with the help of animated videos we try to reveal the world of the Crossout project more deeply. And the current season “Big chase” is no exception.
The main theme of this season was the return of the “Chase” mode, which marked the beginning of a new conflict in the world of the Wasteland: the confrontation between the Steppenwolfs and the Syndicate. Such a “brief” idea was enough to come up with the concept of the video. Like many players, we have always been interested in finding out what the driver of a military build or truck feels when driving through the Valley. Using this idea as a basis, we realized that the video should be done in one take, from the eyes of the driver, from beginning to end.
After the animated sketch was ready, we switched to the trailer’s technical side. The main challenge in making this video was to seamlessly combine the passage of the convoy in the game, with the model and animations inside the separately created cabin. And that’s assuming that each stage (modelling, animation, setting up the convoy passage and the firefight) was handled by three different specialists.
In the end, everything worked out as intended. Perhaps not everything turned out perfectly. But we analyze each video and your comments and try to improve the quality in each next animated video.
Some interesting information:
- Many have noticed that Ichiro’s armoured car is equipped with “Kaiju”, but his cannon shoots single, more powerful shots and doesn’t decrease the movement speed. That’s right: Ichiro modified this “Kaiju” for himself and used it effectively. Unfortunately, after the truck’s cannon destroyed the build of a desperate Syndicate agent, the weapon modification was completely destroyed.
- Ichiro was able to pierce through the thick roof of the truck thanks to the neural boosters in his muscle corset and the energy boosters in his blade.
- Alex’s personal weapon is a special-purpose submachine gun, the armour-piercing ammunition of which has great piercing power.
- It is known that the truck driver wanted to be a pilot since his childhood. That is why he put a duck in a flight helmet on the dashboard of his truck.
