You and Me Makes Us
Song of Nunu
Music Video

Every adventure is better with a friend! And once more, we collaborated with Riot Forge to shake off some snow and make a music video for the super sweet “You and Me Makes Us” by Deegan, that captures Nunu and Willump’s heartwarming friendship as they travel through the magical and beautiful scenery of Freljord.

Since you can’t be a hero without a song, we set out on our own journey, using Blender from layout to lookdev, grooming, FX, lighting and rendering with Cycles. Just to make things easier, we also developed a second, 2D visual style that had to fit perfectly with the fully rendered 3D world., which we honestly think it did pretty well. So make room for the yeti and enjoy!
