Warframe 1999: The Hex
Digital Extremes
Dive into The Hex with the Warframe: 1999 Animated Prologue, a vivid portrayal of the Protoframes' early struggles against the Techrot. Created by the acclaimed animation studio The Line and directed by Venla Linna, this short film explores the intricate dynamics of the Protoframes as they wrestle with personal challenges and unite in their pursuit of Dr. Albrecht Entrati. Set before the events of Warframe: 1999, this prologue highlights the intensity of their battles and the depth of their relationships.
Originally envisioned as a music-driven animation set to the official Warframe soundtrack, the project evolved to balance its dynamic visuals with immersive audio storytelling. The shoegaze-inspired, hard-hitting track proved too ambient for the intense action sequences, prompting the inclusion of detailed sound effects and a trailer appropriate music re-mix and edit. By blending sound effects with the score, the animation achieves a richer atmosphere and greater emotional intensity.
