AXIS SCOOPS ROYAL TELEVISION SOCIETY AWARD

Huge congratulations to Axis Studios the leading UK production studio based at Skypark! The team has scooped the Royal Television Society Scotland Award in the Animation and VFX category, for its iconic Magic The Gathering: War of the Spark trailer that promotes the latest series of the collectible and digital card game.

Directed by Stu Aitken, and produced for Wizards of the Coast, the team at Axis Studios focused on the conclusory arc of the story, featuring one of the most central and popular characters, by illuminating her specific story within the greater narrative.

Richard Scott, Axis Studios CEO said:

“The RTS Scotland Award is a great win for our team and our friends at Wizards of the Coast. It’s exciting to receive this recognition for animation as it underlines the value and contribution of this unique storytelling medium in the industry”.

Magic the Gathering: War of the Spark is the self-described, most ambitious card set from the series to date – featuring 36 Planeswalker cards and a cinematic story experience unlike anything Magic fans have seen before. War of the Spark is the first of several trailers the team created for wizards including the Throne of Eldraine, Theros: beyond dead and Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths
