Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - AMP Breacher

When starting production for "From the Ashes", we aimed to redesign the AMP suits to make them more agressive, robust and animalistic. In addition, we also wanted to introduce elements from the ash clan to more clearly represent our enemy tier system.

This was a huge collaboration between the the concept, vehicle, technical animation and combat team - with direction from Mikhail Greuli and Ben Procter.
I worked closely with Alexander Schwandner to realize his vision and together we found an effective collaborative design process that let us rely on his early concept work to quickly get started sketching in 3d. This allowed us to make much more informed decisions, and in the end made our production time much faster.

Huge thanks to our amazing weapons and vehicle team: Andreas Cramer and Sebastian Claesson!
