Skovmark: The Liberation of Kolonio is part of a several month long campaign run in Arma 3 for a group of over 70 players. In efforts to maintain interest in the campaign over such a long span of time, I was commissioned to create animated trailers for each chapter. In this chapter, the air assault forces of the fictional nation of Skovmark are launching a surprise attack on the island of Kolonio, which fell to their foe some chapters prior. With this knowledge of the setting, I decided to call upon a James Bond-y kind of theme to evoke a feeling of fast, exciting action.
This was my first project in Unity 6, which has allowed me to utilize cel shaders that did not work in the version I was familiar with. Models were mostly taken from Sketchfab, and adjustments were made where necessary in Blender for much-needed creative control.
The song used is Syd Dale's "Syndicate", which I came across while scrolling a long library of 60's-70's production music for inspiration.
