Here’s A Behind-The-Scenes Look At Halo Infinite’s Opening Cinematic

Animation studio Axis Studios has worked with some of the biggest names in the games industry, creating cinematics and animated trailers. Some of its latest work includes the Atriox cinematic that opens up Halo Infinite‘s campaign, and today the studio is showcasing more of the work that went into creating the opening scene.

The cutscene shows Master Chief facing off in an impossible battle against Atriox, in the midst of a chaotic battle scene. New concept art released by Axis shows how some of the cutscene’s most pivotal moments were originally conceived, as well as a storyboard that lays out the full scene in a single image.

The storyboard shows off Axis’s use of color in the scene, with each moment showing an interplay of reds and blues that can be picked out in the final scene.
