Katabasis book trailer: A journey of no return?

Service: Instagram book trailers, multiple formats
Client: Eichborn Verlag
Style: Motion design, vector illustrations

For Katabasis by bestselling author Rebekka Kuang, we created an atmospheric book trailer for Eichborn Verlag.

The trailer combines faux 3D camera movements with custom-designed vector illustrations, visually blending the academic world of Cambridge with the mythological realm of the underworld. Animated characters move through dust, fire, and monumental halls of Hades, creating a dense visual narrative in which magic, danger, and rivalry become tangible.
