THE MAUD SAGA : Heirs To A Broken Age Series
In Maud, the sun has not shone for centuries. The soil is frozen, the sky sealed in ash-coloured cloud, and each night the dead rise without fail. Humanity survives behind trenches and walls, generation after generation knowing only endurance, never warmth. When ancient beings awaken—once revered as gods, now diminished and mortal—they rise into a world that no longer remembers them. At the moment of their return, they confront a twisted reflection of what they once were, a fracture born from their own fall. As they walk among the living, they discover the true cost of reclaiming their lost essence: power is bound to sacrifice, memory, and responsibility. The more they recover, the more they understand how deeply they are tied to those who survived without them. Maud is not about gods saving humanity. It is about broken guardians facing the consequences of having once failed it.
The Maud Saga series is being made as a collaboration between author L.L. Junior, designer, supervisor and producer Carl Grinter and animator, compositor, AI specialist, music composer & sound designer Brian King. The animation has been created using 3D models that are used as guides to inform the generative AI models and character actions to keep consistency between characters, environments and lighting and guiding the generative AI to automate the actions in each the scenes, giving the ability to direct and design the scenes with a high level of detail and coherence.
