ARK 2
Studio Wildcard - PC / console (still in production)
GAME, TRAILER & CINEMATICS ART DIRECTION & CONCEPT DESIGN
I led the 40+ Art and visual content team through preproduction and into production for ARK 2, the ambitious sequel to the company’s hugely successful open-world dinosaur survival game franchise. I defined the new game’s aesthetic and visual quality bar, driving major improvements over the beloved (but visually outdated) original.
Because the game is still in development, the only work I can show here are the two trailers below.
For the Announce Trailer I was responsible for all art direction - all from environments, costumes and props to shot design and lighting, down to Vin Diesel's body ink - in partnership with Studio Wildcard's talented team of game developers, artists, and animators - and major contributions from Digital Domain and the Nexodus group, among others.
The follow-up Trailer #1 I art directed through design and preproduction, contributing shot design and storyboards before having to leave the project, after which the final production work was art directed by Vic DeLeon and the SWC team, in addition to external vendor partners.
