B-O-D studio Drops Ninja Must Die 3 Trailer for Japan

The animation team at B-O-D studio in Beijing conjures a two-minute blast of non-stop action fantasy to launch the third edition of Pandada Games’ Ninja Must Die franchise into the Japanese market.

From B-O-D studio: “In this short film, the client wanted the images to be more in line with the game’s Chinese style and hot fighting action, so we integrated some Chinese-style concepts visually.

“The difficulty of visual development in this project was the three-dimensional treatment of that Chinese style. We tried the combination of two-dimensional hand-painted maps and three-dimensional models, hoping to be different from traditional CG.

“Character dynamics is based on the characteristics of the game, and it is hoped that there will be more exaggerated and distorted presentation in the lens perspective to enhance the emotional rendering during the fight.”
