After his pictures of Shanghai, photographer and director Nicolas Jandrain, based in Los Angeles, comes back with a brand new project for Ubisoft. It took him 5 months of intense work with Belgian 3D studio Nozon and agency Kazoo Creative to reveal the cinematic trailer for the strategy video game Anno 2205 (designed by Blue Byte and entirely made of computer graphics) for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) which happened in Las Vegas.
This game is the sixth of the famous saga and happens in a futuristic world which invites gamers to quit the Earth to explore the space. From the question “What would the Moon at night look like if it’s colonized?”, they’ve imagined together the dark side of the Moon, illuminated by a city networks similar to the Earth images unveiled by NASA.
