GRENADE CHECKMATE
BGMI - LIES, LOOT & LEGACY

In a high-stakes battleground, an underdog team, pushed to the brink of defeat, gambles one last desperate move to outsmart their ruthless rivals.

Action. Drama. Dhamaka.
No punches pulled. We created a pulse-pounding action ad film for Battlegrounds Mobile India, part of the Lies, Loot & Legacy anthology — a showcase of India’s finest animation studios, each reimagining the BGMI universe through their own artistic lens. Our film cranks up the intensity, blending slick storytelling with explosive visuals that keep you hooked till the very end.

 

Big shoutout to Prateek Kole for trusting us with this project and giving us the creative freedom. Every frame’s been fired up with heart, hustle, and the best team in the game.

CONCEPT ART

Our early concept art set the tone for the film’s visual identity — grounded in the world of the game, yet unmistakably ours. We re-envisioned familiar environments as dystopian, war-ravaged landscapes, capturing the tension and chaos at the heart of the story.

CHARACTER DESIGN

Bringing together familiar faces and fresh ones, the film showcases iconic characters from the game — Victor, Carlo, and Sara — alongside our original duo, Maniac and Joe. We preserved signature elements like clothing and hairstyles to maintain recognizability, but reshaped their physiques and silhouettes to suit the narrative and tone of our world.
