HyperGryph‘s Arknights is one of the most popular mobile games in China and around the globe. Our cg team at Digital Domain Shanghai crafted this cinematic for their game collaboration with Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Siege. We brought in iconic characters from both games to reveal an exciting unique storyline for this event.

I directed and supervised this trailer. It was a great experience to work with HyperGryph and our talented cg team.

(The film was originally cut into two sections and released before and after the event.)
