Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Official Trailer – Magic: The Gathering

Earlier this year Flex Animation was excited to assist Axis Studios with a colossal new trailer for Magic: The Gathering’s latest Arena Expansion, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.

Flex was tasked with the facial rigging for the two heroes - the lead female Vivien and the enormous flying Wingcat. For Wingcat careful attention was paid to matching the facial expression of large cats to capture the subtleties of sneers, growls and blinks.

Special thanks to Axis for working with us on this very exciting and gigantic scope of a project.

More information about the expansion can be found here https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/Ikoria and the trailer for Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths can be viewed below:

Messy goes to Okido - BBC (Series 2)

In the second half of 2017 Flex Animation was delighted to assist Doodle Productions (sister company of Squint Opera) with characters for the second series of ‘Messi goes to Okido’. Flex made swift work of rigging key robots Bryn, Nancy and Stan Tall with our in-house rigging toolset for use in multiple episodes. We then moved on to assisting with rigging on the Mayor, Gloria and Geoffery and the populus of Okdio, the Okidinian.

Special thanks to Doodle Productions for working with Flex Animation on this fun project.

Messi goes to Okido Season 2 is currently being aired on CBeebies is also available on BBC IPlayer.
