Saints Row: The Third - NUTS

June 7th, 2011



Earlier this year, we created animatics for Saints Row: The Third, THQ's out-of-control open world action game. Working closely with THQ-Volition, we created the camera and first pass character animations for several of their in-game cinematics.

Scratch Image is pleased to announce our involvement in THQ's Saints Row 3 for the PS3, XBOX 360 and PC. We are providing animatics production for the game's real-time cinematics.
