The Roman Riddle - Playtika
The question isn’t where it’s when…
in-app 3D cinematic created for our partners at Caesers Playtika
Welcome to Las Vegas!
After a number of videos that took place at Troy, Ithaca, and the Olympus, The Roman Riddle video takes us to modern times in Las Vegas!
Or is it?
After all, it wasn’t just another case of stolen goods…
In these three opening shots, we set the atmosphere and the famous Las Vegas mood - the city of lights that never sleeps
For this video, we wanted to create the atmosphere of an old film noir detective movie.
Project Breakdown
Las Vegas the city of lights, the city that never sleeps.
Our story is as magnificent as the city.
In theHear/See the film noir's overall theme is already clear and visible. However, this is the first iteration of the movie.
In the script as also in the movie, things won’t stay still.
If the city won’t sleep so does we in order to deliver the best result.
The See & Hear script
Meet Detective Nancy our hero of the story.
Will she crack the case?
The storyboard
The next step after the Hear\See is the starboard - in this stage, we transfer the text description into initial frames that determine the composition and flow throughout the video
From idea to final result
Here are some examples to the development process - on the left part is the hear/see script and as we move to the right we can see the storyboard frame, preview from the 3D software and final frame as it will be in the final video
Figuring out the look and feel of mystery was more challenging
What we did to make Nancy look so good
This time we made Nancy More realistic and less stylized.
Therefore we decided to make the hair from strips of hair and not from solid mesh to make her look more realistic.
To achieve it, we had to search for someone that specializes in hair styling.
Ahhhh…. The good old days when hair was a solid mesh.
Texturing and shading of the hair come right after.
The finalized look of Nancy.
And she looks STUNNING!
