Evolve
Ready or Not
Evolve challenges gamers to a round of hide and seek unlike any other in 'Ready or Not.' The Mill joined forces with Team One and director Henry Hobson of Furlined for the suspenseful live-action trailer.
Set in a dark jungle, the clip follows a group of teens into the chilling game where they must choose between hunting together or killing alone. Artists at The Mill created the game's massive (and terrifying) CG Monster and dropped him into the story.

Lead 3D artist Felix Urquiza comments on the process: "This kind of spot is always fun to do - the concept, story and visual elements are always creative and give us the freedom to explore outside the box. Working with an agency like Team One and director Henry Hobson really makes the job extra fun as they provide us with an open door to some of the creative process. One of the main challenges of this project was to create the Monster from the game without revealing him. The idea was to use water and smoke to represent his features. There are so many ways to approach this, so we experimented with a few different options, reworked the animation and spent some time getting the look and feel to a point where everyone was happy."
The multiplayer game launches February 2015.
