Age of Empires - 25th Year Anniversary Documentary

It was a privilege to be part of an extraordinary team that created a short documentary for the Age of Empires 25th Anniversary Broadcast. This live-streamed event celebrated the game’s rich history, unveiled eagerly awaited updates, and featured exclusive interviews and performances. Our documentary was showcased to a global audience of devoted Age of Empires fans, sparking a wave of nostalgia and excitement in the live chat.

In this project, I took on the dual roles of Art Director for graphics and Motion Graphics Artist. My journey began with conceptualizing ideas and presenting them through concept decks in meetings with our clients and stakeholders from Xbox and Age of Empires. During production, I collaborated closely with editors, embedding subtle references for die-hard fans and exploring the profound impact of this iconic RTS series.

This challenging project was immensely rewarding. I look forward to sharing insights into my creative process. For now, here’s a glimpse of some animation stills from the documentary.
