Apex Legends "Season 3: Meltdown Launch Trailer"
Case Study

Brief

To create an immersive cinematic campaign filled with action-packed trailers to announce the consecutive seasons of the successful game ‘Apex Legends’.

Approach

Mill Co-Directors David Lawson and Lisha Tan set out to create a vivid and stylized immersive world. The Mill’s Creative Technology team developed a complex texturing process, experimenting with neural networks and algorithmic solutions, to give the CG assets a hand-painted and paint brushed look.

Impact

Four bold, iconic and distinctive films that were viewed by millions across the world. Apex Legends Season 3 'Meltdown Launch' received over 16 million views, Apex Legends Season 2 'Battle Charge' received over 11 million views, Apex Legends 'Reveal Trailer' received over 5.4 million views and Apex Legends 'Assimilation Launch' has gained 15 million views so far.
