Killing Monsters was the first cinematic trailer released for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It was produced by Platige Image.
In an interview with Art of VFX, director Tomek Bagiński said:
"This seemingly straightforward, intimate scene became one of our toughest projects so far. We couldn’t hide anything, every little detail had to be polished to perfection. Each imperfection of either models or animation was immediately visible. Big, epic movies often hide defects and imperfections in special effects. In the case of this piece, however, every single detail was important to the overall effect. It was one of our biggest challenges to date."
