Writer/director Tomek Suwalski and a massive crew at Platige Image summon a menacing CG vision of post-nuclear Russia in the trailer for Metro Exodus, the third installment in 4A Games’ video game series based on the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Tomek Suwalski: “The Metro series puts a strong emphasis on story, so we also wanted the trailer to tell an alluring and coherent story instead of simply showing parts of the game.
“We wanted to find a way to present not only the richness of the world but also the motivation behind the journey. The fantastic nature of the Metro universe gave us the solution.
“The environment retains the highest level of realism, but every location is also mysterious and seems almost magical. This effect was achieved with the use of subtle details, lighting, and tension-building framing.”
Other than the music which was composed by Alexey Omelchuk, Platige Image handled all parts of production including concept/script, asset creation, motion capture, animation/rendering, sound editing, and mixing.
