The Last of Us – Told by Artworks

Video based on still images, that I animated while giving a depth sensation. The experts will be glad to learn that I used a technique called Camera Mapping. The effect is a bit similar to that of a bullet time, but handled only digitally. The challenge was to use this technique – normally designed for photos and « real » images – on drawings, in order to create a sort of hypnotizing effect. The word oniric comes to my mind although not very appropriate here. That said, the goal was to depict remains of the video game through animated artworks, a bit like what we take out of a dream. Long story short, I wanted to tell the story in a contemplative way, and to make a tribute video to the artists contributed to the game. (The original artworks are made by artists who worked on the developpement of The Last of Us. Credits at the end of the video)
