Clash Royale | Heroes take the crown.
Slugging it out over nine minutes with seven other studios via animation? Sounds like a party. The only brief? FIGHT.
Shotopop joined a selection of studios from across the globe, each creating one unique section with no restrictions in style, narrative, or design, to showcase a new feature for renowned game Clash Royale. We simply had to coordinate with the next studio, so that our ending and their beginning lined up.
We threw the first punch, choosing to pay homage to the frantic energy and comic performance of '90s Saturday morning cartoons. Biggest shout out to Uncommon Creative Studio Stockholm and Supercell for giving the artists on this project so much creative freedom!
Our sparring partners on parts 2-6 were RiffRaff, BlinkInk, Squeeze Animation Studios, Business Club and Gizmo.
