Platige Image, the renowned animation studio, has collaborated with Tim Miller's Secret Level, an adult animated series for Amazon Prime Video, co-produced with Blur Studio and Amazon MGM Studios. The 15-episode anthology, which features stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, and Kevin Hart, includes a standout episode based on the popular game Crossfire.
Having previously worked with Tim Miller and Blur Studio on Love, Death & Robots, Platige Image has once again demonstrated its expertise in realistic computer animation. Directed by Damian Nenow, the Crossfire episode takes viewers through a meticulously crafted city with over a thousand sketches, detailed action planning, and high-end tools like MetaHuman Animator for realistic facial animation.
"Production of animated shorts is in Platige Image's DNA. Thanks to these experiences and our artists’ talent, we have become one of the leading cinematic producers in the world. ‘Secret Level’ is the perfect project for Platige Image, both in terms of artistic choices and business objectives. And collaboration with Blur Studio was, once again, nothing short of extraordinary. Working on the Crossfire episode, we had a sense of being part of something exceptional," said Artur Zicz, executive producer at Platige Image.
The project was financially supported by the Polish Film Institute through the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
