AXIS BREAKS CONVENTION..

..IN CREATING 'THE TALL GRASS' FOR NETFLIX’S LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS

Adapted from Joe R. Lansdale’ tense Lovecraftian horror story of the same name, The Tall Grass uses visually stunning CG to create a living, breathing illustration. Axis Studios set out with a mission to make every frame a painting and push the capabilities of their creative team.

Based at Skypark, Axis Studios is an award-winning entertainment company founded in Glasgow in 2000. It boasts an international team of directors, designers, artists, animators, writers and producers working across its studios, the largest of it's kind in Scotland.

When Love, Death and Robots returned for a second series, Axis Studios were presented with the opportunity to create the episode under the vision of director & VES Award-winning How To Train Your Dragon franchise alum, Simon Otto.

He said “We really wanted our short to feel like a visual development painting and we had to work out how to do that in animation. The proof of the concept, the first CG version of a shot, blew everyone away. The team raised the bar and it set the tone for the rest of the film.'

Love, Death, and Robots (LDR) Vol 2 and The Tall Grass are streaming on Netflix now.
