The Story
Harbor’s agent trailer is his official entry into the Valorant universe — a cinematic that weaves action, mythology, and cultural identity. We follow him through a high-speed chase in Delhi, flashing back to ancient ruins near Mumbai where he gains his powers, before returning to the present and his recruitment into the Valorant Protocol.
Initial Rip-a-matic
To pitch the tone and style, we built a rip-o-matic using action scenes from Bollywood and Hollywood films. It helped us visualize the blend of high-stakes chases, mythic discovery, and playful heroism we wanted for Harbor. This early reference video was key in aligning the creative vision with the client before moving into production
Color Script
The color script guided the mood across timelines — warm, dusty tones for Delhi’s chase, cool shadows and gold accents for the ancient ruins, and a crisp, futuristic palette for the Protocol scenes. It helped us visually distinguish each chapter of Harbor’s story.
Layout
The animatic was essential to map out the pacing between action and story beats. It helped us balance the chase, the flashback, and Harbor’s recruitment while keeping the energy consistent. This stage also let us refine the flow of transitions, especially between past and present.
Render and Post
In rendering, we focused on bringing out the richness of each environment — the textures of the ruins, the heat of Delhi, the sleekness of Protocol tech. Post-production tied it all together with color grading, VFX, and seamless transitions between timelines to keep the cinematic cohesive and dynamic.
