EVE Vanguard
CCP
I had the opportunity to contribute to the EVE Vanguard 2025 Gameplay Trailer, where I was responsible for creating the cinematic opening sequence. I was part of the wider DoubleJump team working on the trailer but the cinematic opener itself was a solo endeavour.
For this opener I created a new planet/space environment in Unreal Engine 5 and also set-dressed existing environments to enhance the atmosphere for the sequence. I also altered the in-game pod to better suit the in-ward looking view. The computer screen was custom modelled in Blender and textured in Substance Painter. I also handled motion capture recording and cleanup for the character performances.
All lighting, camera animation and shot composition were developed directly in UE5. Final compositing and colour polish were made in After Effects. Watch full trailer here.
In addition to the cinematic itself, I also created a set of supplementary marketing screenshots to support promotional materials for the release.
