This project was done in collaboration with a studio in China. They needed some key artwork producing as well as colour script for the trailer that they would use for the pitch. I collaborated with my good friend Paco Roca, who did some 3D layouts for a few of the images and used those as a base for painting over.
For the colour script I worked of the script they had developed and alongside the director defined the shots.
