Freestlye Collective: Fusion Fall Cinematic

I caught a sneak peek of Freestyle Collective’s action-packed cinematic for Cartoon Network’s forthcoming Fusion Fall game a few months ago, and I’ve been waiting for the chance to share it ever since.

The camera work and pacing are full of adrenaline that moves in lock-step with the soundtrack. Like the game itself, the promo is a mix of cuteness and ass-kicking—a tricky balance to master.

There’s also a great sense of place in the spot. Each location feels deep and fully realized.

Thanks to Tyquane Wright for the tip!

    Sheer awesomeness. So many amazing little details, like the spit on the camera.
