Borderlands

Facial animation inside the unmistakable world of Borderlands.

01 / The project

Borderlands

Borderlands has a visual language all its own. We brought facial animation to its cinematics, working within that bold character style to give performances a place in the game’s storytelling.

Mimic Productions identifies Borderlands among its game credits and captions the project artwork “Facial animation for Borderlands cinematics.”

Performance in a world with its own rules.

Borderlands has an instantly recognisable graphic style. A face in that world still has to carry a performance. Our published contribution is facial animation for the game’s cinematics, where character expression becomes part of the storytelling rather than a static visual detail.

Cinematic character work calls for attention to what the audience reads in a close shot: timing, expression and how a line lands on screen. Mimic Productions describes facial animation and expressive rigging as part of its broader game-character practice. The Borderlands portfolio caption identifies the specific deliverable here: facial animation for cinematics.

03 / Inside the work

What we made.

01

The format

This credit belongs to the game’s cinematic sequences. It is a performance-animation contribution, distinct from the full game’s design or development.

02

The visual world

The published project image shows Borderlands’ distinctive illustrated character style. Facial performance had to live within that established look.
