house of the dragon: dark dealings
how to play
At Headcase Media, we take pride in collaborating with globally renowned brands to bring their visions to life through captivating media. When approached by Goliath, a leading global toymaker, we were thrilled to work on a project centred around their card and board game inspired by HBO's hit series House of the Dragon.
The brief was clear: create an engaging and informative 2D animated “how to play” video that would guide players through the intricate rules of this exciting game. With a runtime of four minutes, the animation needed to be both educational and entertaining, reflecting the intensity and grandeur of the House of the Dragon universe.
Working closely with Goliath, we ensured the animation captured the essence of the brand and series. Collaboration was key. Our team liaised with Goliath’s creative and branding departments throughout the project, incorporating their original game assets and visuals from the TV series to maintain authenticity. This open communication allowed us to deliver a product that met their high standards and stayed true to their creative vision.
Our process involved not only animation but also a deep dive into the game’s rules to present them in an accessible and visually compelling manner. From storyboarding to the final edit, our team remained focused on aligning with Goliath’s expectations and delivering a piece that resonated with both their internal team and their audience.
This project exemplifies our commitment to fostering strong partnerships with our clients. Goliath trusted us to create an animation that reflected the intricacies of their game while embodying the prestige of the House of the Dragon brand. We’re proud to have been part of a project that brought together creativity, precision, and collaboration at such a high level.
If your brand is looking for video production, animation, or branding support, we’re here to help you tell your story with the same dedication and care. Let’s create something exceptional together.
