Heavy Metal Machines (HMM) is a car battle MOBA video game developed and published by Hoplon Infotainment. HMM is a free-to-play game available on Steam, where teams of four heavily armed machines battle in arenas set in a post-apocalyptic world. Hoplon invited Animaking Studio to develop the official launch trailer, and I had the pleasure of leading and directing this project.​​​​​​​
