The Brazilian project nominated
The 71st season of Clash Royale — “The Undead March” — was released globally in March last year. It introduces a new card evolution to the game: the Evolved Witch.
Mooncolony, a UK-based studio specializing in conceptual art and illustration outsourcing, produced the animation, directed by David Ferguson. Brazilian artist André Forni, a professional specializing in illustration, animation, and art direction, is one of the artists working on the game at Supercell.
The creator and producer of the soundtrack, Cezar Brandão, through his production company Ganso Music, associated with Blood Audio, celebrates the nomination. “Being nominated in the very first edition of the Cinematic Awards for the work on Clash Royale — ‘The Undead March’ — is an honor. This project began with the music. From it, the entire visual universe that brings this game animation to life was built,” he says.
