Valheim: ashlands

(2024, AMSTERDAM)

Valheim is a popular sandbox video game. Ahslands is an updated version of the worldplay, released in the summer of 2024. This update was announced through an epic animated trailer.

RIGGING / IN-BETWEENING

Studio Kalio (Amsterdam) participated in part of the production of the animated trailer, heavily focused on keying and in-betweening. Part of my contribution was the creating the rigs and in-betweening. These rigs were nothing more than ordinary 2D puppet animation rigs, unlike the complicated Warhammer rigs (see page for more depth on rigging experience).

The in-betweening was also done in an inhouse software and the animation process felt relatively smooth and natural.

Pre-production: storyboards with detailled keyposes, shading and timetables.

Compositing.

With my experience with lead-rigging and overall proficiency of the inhouse animation software, I was given the more intense shots to rig and animate.

I also participated in assisting other animators when needed. It was a much fast paced production and the end result paid off well.

This is how most of my animations on the project looked like, and also, how the feedback looked like.
