The Elder Scrolls Online: Shadow Over Morrowind
The Mill
To unveil the riveting next chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online universe, The Mill collaborated with ZeniMax Online Studios and agency Ayzenberg for the two-and-a-half-minute cinematic reveal trailer. The Mill director Robert Sethi and VFX Supervisor Chris Bayol led our team of VFX artists across our Los Angeles, New York, and Bangalore studios to ensure the trailer lived up to The Elder Scrolls Online name and legacy.
The project was fully produced from start to finish at The Mill. Alongside our creative collaborators, our teams developed the story, created character models and environments (largely from scratch), shot motion capture for the entire film in the UK, translated that back in CG animation, developed and executed the look in lighting, added comprehensive FX, and took it to the finish line in comp. The cinematic trailer was graded by Head of Colour LA, Paul Yacono and edited by The Mill’s Natalie Wozniak + Jack Pyland.
