Swedish director Mads Broni, who hit the Stash radar in late 2017 with his atmospheric animated short “7th Aeon”, ramps up the sci-fi thriller action here in new work for Respawn’s Apex Legends thru Passion Pictures.
Mads Broni: “We were asked to bring life to the story of Crypto, the new legend for Apex Legends. This was hands down one of the most fun and challenging projects I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.
“With two months to spare, we dived right into creating an animatic, character sheets, concept design, and VO recording. Within two weeks we were able to start full production which gave us 1.5 months to put everything together.”
