/ OVERVIEW

Created as part of Jade Shadows: Constellations (a cinematic, single-player Quest in Warframe arriving in June), the game’s latest narrative chapter, the film expands on the story’s themes through a visually ambitious, standalone piece designed to resonate with both existing fans and new audiences alike! We approached the production as an opportunity to evolve our creative process, combining a mixed approach that brought together live-action-inspired editorial, graphic 2D animation, and FX-driven sequences. Louve has always wanted to work with fully animated backgrounds and this piece was the perfect opportunity to do that!
