The Project
In spring 2025 we partnered with Big Thursday Creative and Brainbug on a release trailer for the very exciting open-world survival crafting game RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The Jagex Dragonwilds team wanted to capture a watercolour journal feel.
How We Did It
The amazing team at Brainbug Design produced beautiful paintings with real watercolour textures for each scene which we brought to life through parallax animation, ink reveals and blooms. We used a book mockup to guide the camera across and through the journal entries, making the illustrations jump from the pages with colour and animation.
