Scotland-based Axis Animation has collaborated with director Ben Hibon and developer ChAIR on a special short film for Infinity Blade III.

Called Infinity Blade: Origins, the visually striking two minute video will also act as the introduction for Epic’s latest entry into its popular action RPG series on mobile. Axis built the 3D characters and used a blend of texturing and shading to add a 2D feel to the video, which was then layered with both 3D and 2D animated visual effects. The short film depicts the forging of the Infinity Blade and the weapon’s subsequent history waging terror and defeating enemies.
