Director Louve Karnas and the animation crew at The Line in London smash together an array of 2D and 3D techniques for a full-on neural assault in this hyper-action trailer for Uncapped Games’ premiere release Battle Aces.

From The Line: “This film marks the third directorial piece of our very own Louve Karnas, who had such a clear image for this epic from the very start and our art director, Bruno Mayor brought that vision to life from his very first style frames.

“Those first few frames in the film were real north stars. With all the components that went into this piece (motion graphics, FX, 2D and 3D animation) all having to marry together but the team’s vision never wavered. Collaborating with Uncapped was an absolute dream. Every person involved in this project gave their complete all to it and we couldn’t be prouder of the final result.”
