Codemasters and the delevoper Triumph returned to Ark for the trailer for Overlord 2. This one was different to the first because we were to use the in-game assets rather than build all the characters as we had done for Overlord. Although we did re-use the old “minion master” character we’d made from the first Overlord.
My job was as animator, though again we did get a freelancer in for the shots of the crowd reacting to the lightning strikes. The Marching centurions shot was done in Massive by Rich B using walk cycles I’d done for the centurion characters.
Heres a breakdown movie of my main work on the project:
And some animatics:
