Animated scene of Stargazer & Togarma

We are releasing a peak at one of our scenes in it’s raw animation stage. What you will see is the animation applied to the basic models without textures and lighting. That will come much later in the production process.
This scene comes very early in the story, and takes place right outside of Terakh [...]

Nimrod Character Design

Nimrod was the baddest bad guy who ever lived.  The Midrash says Nimrod was either very diminutive in stature, or extremely large, like the giant Philistine who David killed with a stone.  We chose, for obvious reasons, to make him large and formidable in appearance.  The Midrash also tells of a legend that Nimrod had [...]

Haran & Nakhor Character Design

The first time we enter Terakh’s house we are in the birth room right after Avram is born. The design [...]

Oni & Mardon

Nimrod’s two sons hold significant positions as palace guards, yet add comic relief to our story.  Here are some of Pascal Colpron’s beautiful sketches and a render test of the fantastic modeling and texturing done by the Big Bang team.
