Within the palace walls, power shifts like falling dominos. A single misstep setting an unstoppable chain in motion. Whispers and shifting scrolls, silhouettes and scattered pawns, who can stop this never-ending gears of fate?
Inspired by the political tensions and mysteries in Korean history, the animation highlights the beauty and darkness of the life of a king.
Each object was modelled after historical pieces of the time period. Go being a tool for sharpening the mind and a form of mental sparring/even diplomatic engagement.
The given specs created rigid guidelines for timing, pacing, and overall design of the animation. Square box, 450 frames, and a tight deadline.
With the challenge of heavy renders, AOVs were a big part of the process from the beginning. To animate the lights, create the silhouettes, and manipulate the shadows, a combination of Ae, Nuke, and C4D were used.
The silhouette/shadows were created in Ae which was later used as a texture in C4D.
The monochrome look was an addition that was necessary to fit the concept of mystery.
