We loved working on this intro sequence for Ubisoft's new game Bump - Superbrawl! This intro follows an unlikely trio of underdogs who share the same dream of becoming champions. One of the most exciting things about this project was that it marked the Art Directorial debut of our very own Eido Hayashi! We loved seeing her work elevate this film and bring the world to life.

Ash, Minotaur, and Lil Reaper are channeling their inner Karate Kid focusing on mindfulness, flexibility, and mobility as the sun sets behind them. The calm before The Superbrawl. Discipline. Precision. Balance. They aren’t just ready, they’re built for this.

This is the first time we meet Jabari, unconscious, falling toward the ruins of a destroyed city. What happened here? What led to this moment? Is this the start of something or the end? Will he even survive? We wanted to kick off this trailer with questions, questions that Cory Kenshin and Monsters We Make will eventually answer. Dropping the audience into a mystery makes it feel like they’ve stumbled onto something mid-story. While we love big action set pieces, it was just as important to get those subtle details right, like the small flicker in Jabari’s eyes as he fights to stay conscious.

We recently had the honor of collaborating with Discord on two special projects one for Lunar New Year and another featuring adorable chibi inspired icons! For Lunar New Year, we drew inspiration from traditional ink-on-paper techniques, bringing a handcrafted feel to life through frame-by-frame animation. And for the Anime set, we crafted the cutest bowl of ramen you’ve ever seen alongside other chibi-esque icons to add both boldness and charm to Discord user profiles. Check out our website to see more from the project, and a huge thank you to #Discord for this collab we had a blast!

Our plans for tonight? Watching Daredevil: Born Again! We're beyond hyped for this season premiere so to celebrate, take a cutdown from one of our most loved projects for Marvel: SNAP - HERO. Bringing Daredevil to life in this pixel art style was an absolute honour, and we can’t wait to see him back in action. What's your favourite Daredevil moment?

Thrilled to share our latest project for Channel 4, marking our third collaboration! Read more about the project on The Line Animation Studio Blog... https://lnkd.in/dpHZdSw9

Thou Shalt Be Tempted... and we certainly were! 🍏 We're thrilled to reveal our third collaboration with 4creative! The campaign concept for Tempting Fortune aligned perfectly with the show's theme, with classical, Renaissance-style paintings infused with modern elements as a nod to the timeless struggle of temptation. But that's not all... This one was a triple milestone for us: ➕ Our third collab with Channel 4 ➕ Our third with the insanely talented Ignasi Monreal ➕ AND the directorial debut of our Head of Animation, Kwok Fung Lam! As for the show? Hosted by Paddy McGuinness, Tempting Fortune strands 12 Brits in a tropical jungle... sounds dreamy, right? Except they’re surviving on bare essentials while facing constant, absurdly overpriced temptations, all funded by their shared prize pot. Who’ll give in first? Dunno about you, but we’re tempted to binge this ASAP.

The final showdown between Ash and Miss Pele ignites as he fires off, fast and relentless. Lucky for Ash, his speed and agility keep him in the fight, but is it enough to take her down? We wanted this action sequence to be both epic and playful,our chance to channel our Tenkaichi Budōkai energy. 😏 The FX played a massive role in making the battle feel both satisfying and ambiguous. Who do you think won? We know where our money's at. 😉 Client: Ubisoft Layout Camera: Natasha Francis Background: Eido Hayashi Animation: Jamie Merry FX Animation: Paul Bouchart Animation Assist: Paola Castigliola Clean Up and Colour: Paola Castigliola/ ZMEI Compositing: Clarisse Valeix/ Natasha Francis #BUMP #Ubisoft #Animation #THELINE

The mistrust between Eleanor and Lettie is unspoken yet loud, creating an unease just as they embark on a mission where trust could mean the difference between life and death. Simon Dumonceau, Art Director, added one of our favourite visual details—framing Eleanor in dark light against a bright background and Lettie in bright light against a dark background. A subtle yet powerful foreshadowing of Eleanor’s eventual downfall to the infestation.
