London based Design and Direction studio Spov have completed the opening movie for 2014’s most eagerly anticipated game for the Xbox One, Titanfall.

Spov worked closely with Titanfall developer, Respawn and publisher EA to develop a cinematic sequence introducing the narrative setting to players when they first load the game.

This cinematic sequence details humankind’s escape to the stars, using archive footage of space travel, before utilising Spov’s CG and animation skills to visualise Titanfall’s game world – one where ships and people have travelled to the farthest reaches of the universe.

Influenced by footage from NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn, the sequence blends the stark and minimal realism of space with the preparation of the massive Titan mechs for their planet fall.
