Veteran lead animator Venla Linna steps into the director’s chair at London 2D studio The Line for this emotionally charged prologue for Warframe: 1999, the action multiplayer online game from Digital Extremes.
Venla Linna: “I was really inspired by the wider Warframe universe, and above all, the dedication and love the Digital Extremes Team has for their characters. I really wanted to meet this love with an equal amount, so I spent hours watching videos about the stories in the game.
“I was really inspired by the wider Warframe universe, and above all, the dedication and love the Digital Extremes Team has for their characters.”
“Both the client and I really wanted to represent these characters as human beings, not just Warframes. They are individuals with histories and emotions facing a future of losing themselves to the infestation, forced to work together with people they don’t necessarily trust.
“Taking inspiration from The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell, this semi-monochromatic spectacle weaves intense, theatrical visuals with a brooding soundtrack to build anticipation for the new release.”
