Ik heb het dit weekeinde vrij druk gehad en daar door is de onderstaande CGI short mij volkomen ontgaan. Deze is gemaakt door Erasmus Brosdau, die animator was van de developer Crytek en er jaren lang over heeft gedaan om deze te maken en het eind resultaat mag er wezen. Dus ram op play en enjoy.




With over 80,000 fans on Facebook, The Lord Inquisitor is one of the most popular non-commercial film projects to date. Set in the dystopian universe of Warhammer 40,000, The Lord Inquisitor focuses on Marcus Allenbrisk - a young Inquisitor hunting demonic threats within the Imperium of Man and already aspiring to become the next fully-fledged Lord Inquisitor.

The project was started in 2010 by Erasmus Brosdau - a Senior 3D Artist and now Art Director at Crytek. Looking for a challenge to test his skills, experience, and creativity, he chose to create a short movie based on the Warhammer 40,000 property - a universe already famous for its dark gothic sci-fi themes and ambiance.



Without any concrete ideas, a blog was started, ideas were gathered, and 3D models were made. As the updates on the blog grew in number, so did the amount of project followers. Eventually, in late 2011, a trailer was released showcasing the current state of development. It quickly garnered over one million views on YouTube.

This trailer marked the true start of the actual project and helped cultivate a small, highly focused team. With the blessing of Games Workshop, The Lord Inquisitor is project for the fans, by fans, setting the grim-darkness of the forty-first millennium to film.
