The brief
VFX house Trixter had a few days to pitch a sequence for Marvel's Ant-Man to producer Kevin Feige and director Peyton Reed, against strong competition.
The approach
As creative director, Christopher Schlierf led Trixter's artists to build the pitch: storyboards, concept art and a full animatic with sound design, music and voice-over that showed the action, pace and story. After the win, Trixter animated the sequence close to his animatic, under his creative lead.
The result
The sequence introduces the film's villain. Ant-Man grossed $519 million worldwide, and the work led to further Marvel jobs for Trixter.
