Merry Axemas

2024, Adobe After Effects

This ending cut-scene was created for the Merry Axemas computer game’s final scene, where Santa Claus brutally confronts an innocent police officer using a shotgun. For the compositing for this project, I utilized After Effects to combine the final animated elements to create a cohesive final scene that continues to express the dark, violent tone and 8-bit style of the previous levels of the video game.
