Platige Image Crafts CG Sculpture Trailer for Esports World Cup – Animation Magazine

Esteemed Polish animation studio Platige Image has revealed its work on the CG-animated trailer for the Esports World Cup, chiseled out in an eye-catching stone sculpture look. The studio worked directly with event organizers the EWC Foundation to capture esports fans’ attention.

“Our animation references the materials and branding colors used in creating the EWC scenery and the trophy itself,” director Jakub Jabłoński noted. “We combined abstract, geometric, golden simulations with elegant stone sculptures symbolizing the most important games of the tournament. Another important feature is the human element of EWC. These are our athletes, heroes and people of flesh and blood. That’s why we sculpted the most recognizable esports champions in digital stone and dedicated the final segment of the championship to them.”

This year’s edition of the multidisciplinary Esports World Cup launched July 4 and is running through August 4, held at the Riyadh Boulevard City in Saudi Arabia. The EWC offers the largest prize pool in esports competition, and covers top titles from all major game genres. More information available at esportsworldcup.com.

“The dynamics of the tournament require us to constantly update the spot, including adjusting the color scheme to match the individual teams,” said Hanna Drewek, VFX producer at Platige Image.

The supervisors from Platige Image for this project were Łukasz Dziedziński, Marek Gajowski and Bartek Kmita.
