The Witcher 2 – Intro

CD Projekt Red S.A. has started the campaign promoting Xbox 360 version of the “Witcher 2: Assasins of Kings”. The main part of the promotion is animated intro directed by Tomek Bagiński and produced by Platige Image. The Xbox version of the game will premiere on 17th April 2012.
The film introducing the player to the game’s world, is the next stage of cooperation between CD Projekt Red S.A. and Platige Image. It was made for this Xbox 360.

It was one of the most demanding projects in Platige Image history. The script set up very high standards. As for such a short movie there were a lot of main, detailed characters, difficult face close-ups, very dynamic action full of special effects: cloth and particles simulation and hard slowmotion shots.
The ship also became one of the main characters. First our graphic artists created a fantastic scenery and most of all great, very detailed sailing ship. Then the particles simulation team went rough with it. They created a vast interaction system covering the whole construction with milions of ice crystals and they smashed the whole thing.
