“Secret Level” is a new animated series for an adult audience created by Tim Miller for Amazon Prime Video. The anthology was co-produced by Blur Studio and Amazon MGM Studios. Executive producer and supervising director was Dave Wilson who invited to collaborate on this 15-episode series stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, and Kevin Hart, as well as the best animation studios from around the world. This lineup would not be complete without Platige Image, a studio that for over two decades has been celebrated for its animated shorts, cinematics for the most popular games and award-winning advertising productions.
Platige Image has previously worked with Tim Miller and Blur Studio on making the stylized animation “Fish Night,” part of “Love, Death & Robots”—an animated anthology for Netflix. This time, for “Secret Level,” the studio has prepared a fully computer-animated yet realistic film, directed—like in the case of “Fish Night”—by Damian Nenow, member of the American Film Academy and winner, among others, of the European Film Award for the film “Another Day of Life.” In order to make such a complex film, each stage of its execution must be planned to perfection.
The first installment of the “Secret Level” anthology, consisting of 8 episodes, premiered on 10 December. Platige Image creators promised to release more video footage presenting the making process of the “Crossfire” episode shortly, while Blur Studio and Amazon MGM Studio have already announced the continuation of the series.
The film created by Platige Image was made in Poland with financial support based on the Act on financial support for audio visual production granted by the Polish Film Institute from the funds of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
