Director Lucas Durkheim, who started at Paris prodco Eddy as a storyboard artist after graduating from Gobelins and CalArts, fuses 2D and 3D animation into a visceral rampage for Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

From the team at Eddy: “This bold film marked a first for Lucas, who navigated the team with unyielding determination despite the complexity of the project. A robust foundation was set with the completion of 2D pre-production, paving the way for the subsequent stages.

“To elevate the project further, we engaged 3D studio, Red Knuckles. Their expertise was pivotal in translating the vision into reality, serving not only as animators but also advisors, alerting the team to potential pitfalls.

“This collaboration led to a seamless blend of 2D and 3D, culminating in an extraordinary animation. This project stands as a testament to the power of daring innovation and team synergy in the creative industry.”
