This is the story of a beat up Barbarian that finds power in... METAL! 
I had the pleasure of serving as the Creative Director alongside my dear colleague, Erol Tekkanat, in creating the Card Evolution branding, cinematic, and other assets. We had wanted to collaborate with Tenacious D for a long time, as we always felt their energy perfectly resonated with our brand. The playfulness and seriousness of Tenacious D truly spoke to us. The opportunity finally arose with this Card Evolution cinematic. 
Props to Axis Animation Studio for producing this cinematic with us- Special thanks to Chris Wenting and Olly Reid.
