Background Videos
Conceptuals and final movies designed for DICE’s Battlefield 2042.
Tasked with creating four 4K background movies that would play behind the various UI screens in the game.
Information
Cinema 4D and Octane were used to generate conceptual style frames.
Once the final style was chosen, the final 4 movies were rendered and then post processed in After Effects.
