New trailer for Endling: Extinction is Forever

For the release of the game Endling: Extinction is Forever expected in 2022, game publisher HandyGames asked Joël Durand and Passion Paris to direct its first video game trailer.

Developed by Herobeat Studios, Endling explores what life is like for a vixen and her cubs on an Earth left in post-apocalyptic chaos. The very unique artistic direction of this independent game was an instant hit with Joël who was able to naturally transpose his poetic universe through the film’s concept. As an impressive storyteller, Durand was able to infuse suspense and tension to the trailer, qualities which are inherent to Endling.

After developing several different short-films with Durand, Passion Paris is delighted with this first collaboration with him produced within the Studio: “What a pleasure for us to have been able to offer Joël this tailor-made artistic project. This adventure was really exciting for us and has only confirmed the growing compatibility between video games and the artistic realms of 2D designs”. said Andrew Caulcutt, Executive Producer.

Durand on collaborating with the client, and his team: "Everyone without hesitation will say that these were some of the easiest and nicest clients ever! They were extremely happy at the outcome of every weekly meeting, and production was able to move along swiftly. And if the clients were so satisfied with our work it’s first and foremost thanks to our talented team. A beautiful artistic direction brought by Andrei Sitari’s characters, and sets created by Justine Thibault, supported by Raphaël El-Khaddar. Gorgeous animations created by Guillaume Pochez, Grégoire de Bernouis, and Oscar Cotte for special effects. And let’s not forget the assistant animators who allowed us to follow through on our graphic vision, which was composited and calibrated by Marc Muthuon. These are all people I was able to hand pick myself and Passion studio gave me their full trust in selecting my team."
