Building a cinematic trailer while the game is still evolving? Sounds impossible—but that’s exactly what we did. When I worked on my first trailer, I had very little idea of what I was doing. There was no clear structure or roadmap—it felt chaotic. But that’s when I realized that the process doesn’t always need to follow a set formula. You carve your own path through the journey, and that’s where the magic happens. Suddenly, I found myself in the middle of a comprehensive cinematic universe (which was really fun tbh). Working on trailers for Indus Battle Royale wasn’t just about keeping up with other game trailers or straight up—"creativity" ; it was about constant adaptation. With the game’s evolving features, we had to tweak the film in real time to match every new element, ensuring the trailer stayed fresh and relevant to the gameplay experience. Leading these projects used to feel overwhelming, but after doing this several times, each new project got a little easier, until one day, trailers became second nature. And even now, it still hasn’t fully sunk in that we’ve just put out the launch date reveal trailer! In the world of creative professionals, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by changes, feedback, and a myriad of file names—absolute brain fog, if you will. This is where the importance of organization comes into play. I make it a point to put extra effort into organizing anything digital. This discipline isn’t just about keeping things tidy; it’s a strategic choice that allows me to recall and structure my work efficiently. When everything is organized, it not only alleviates the stress of a messy workflow but also frees up my mind for creativity. I’ve found that, as someone who can easily feel overwhelmed, having a clear structure helps me thrive instead of sink into chaos. By keeping our work organized, we were able to navigate the challenges of an evolving game with confidence. Big shoutout to the entire team for rolling with the punches—your flexibility made the ride a whole lot smoother. Well, that's all I have to say. Glad I did type it today before I forgot about it 😅 Anyway, check out the launch date reveal trailer for Indus Battle Royale! Cheers to embracing the journey and finding our way through the chaos! 🥂 https://lnkd.in/da2z2RWu #CreativeDirection #CGI #Filmmaking #Marketing #VisualStorytelling #Organization #CreativeProcess #IndusBattleRoyale #VideoGames #CinematicUniverse

How does a clean environmental sketch translate to a big final production? Here's an example of how a 2D sketch was reinterpreted and transferred into a fully rendered scene in a game! In this case, the sketch was created by our Łukasz Ślebodziński for a special RiotX Arcane event of Riot Games. #conceptart #layoutdesign #environmentdesign #gameart #gamedesign
