Alder's Bane Real-Time Cinematic

This is our submission for the Final-Major Project that we've been working on throughout the year. It was an incredible journey to work on this with such talented people! 
I was responsible for the art direction, lighting and environment creation.

Reflection: 
I had a very positive experience working on this project. The team was working at a good pace and everyone responded well to the feedback we were given by our professors and industry professionals. We were constantly sharing knowledge within our team and also outside it. The best part was talking to industry senior artists and receiving feedback on our work so we could improve individually and as a team. 
What could be improved: we had a few miscommunications which led to confusion or an unfinished minor task, however, we were able to improve our communication within the team in the middle of the project to reduce such accidents. Also, more detailed planning for the story and lore would have been helpful while planning the environment and props design.
Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy our cinematic!
