Gorillaz Update - Rhinestone Eyes Storyboards

Oh Yes ladies and gentlefolk, although I am focused upon my animation my second love goes to the band Gorillaz and along with it the brand new released storyboard of the Rhinetsone Eyes music video. Once more they show their skills in not only story telling, in revealing more about the Plastic Beach but as well as their art skills....damn you Jamie Hewlett! Amazing Bastard...ENJOY!

8-Bit Awesomeness

Hello!

Well I came across this little piece of well wasted time. It just shows what some imagination and the dedication to the old 8-bit games can produce.

Animation Update Colour Choice?

Although it seems that I like to keep everything hush, hush, I thought it would be great to get some comments on what background seems better. As even with my animation the feel is not coming through yet until I have the colour backgrounds completed. Although I do have a lot done of them, I have two versions, one a minimalist to show off the main two characters and the other filled with...a more dulled down colour sheet. Tell me what you think!

So here they are...I must admit I am more leaning towards the first one with the hues of white and black simply because it makes everything seem...so barren. I don't know really.

Summer Wars Review

Well what can we say about a Japanese Anime that talks about love, battle, hardships and awesome boat scenes? THAT IT ROCKS!

Summer Wars, one of the newest films released by the Studio Mad House [Girl Who Lept Through Time, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress and the TV series Paranoia Agent] have once more hit it right on the mark.

The story is based upon the life of a mild mannered, mathematics Olympic 'almost' champion Kenji Koiso, his summer job only beginning to start with working in 'OZ' an online world of potential, shopping, fighting, living, it is everything to millions around the world as all have an account. It is not until his dream girl Natsuki Shinohara appears to ask him if he wants a summer job...obviously, red faced and happy he accepts...that is until he finds out he has to pretend to be her boyfriend and future husband. [You'd think he'd be happy]



From there he is thrust into the large and very old heritage of the Jinnouchi family, their lives a filled with interesting people and perspective. Only with this comes OZ and a deadly threat known as the 'Love Machine'. Destroying everything in its part within OZ, this character starts to toy with the world. Is it playing one big game?

Well you have to see for yourself.

Personally, I loved this film. The animation was perfect when it came to animating the Japanese reactions, nose bleeds were a must along with tons of sweat. A beautiful friendship between the 2D and 3D made this an experience I shall not forget soon. Action, adventure, drama, love, it really does have it all...along with a kick ass villain.

So I give it ten fingers of approval. It is a movie not to miss so quickly see it if you can.

KOI KOI!!!!!!

See the movie and you shall understand.

Here is the trailer to enjoy.

Don't Look Down, Don't Look Down! You're Lucky There's a BLIMP!

Hi Ya'll,

Well I was looking on the Internet, like I seem to always be doing lately for inspiration and usually it means BIOSHOCK music but when I came across this...well...it speaks for itself.



It really makes my day, I love it because of it being Tobuscus on YouTube. Awesome guy, just made my favorite game even...awesomer? Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Justice Will Prevail with Style....and great hair...

Yeah...this is what happens when people leave me alone with photoshop and batman...listening to Lady GAGA

Bioshock 3? NO BIOSHOCK INFINITE!

That's right kiddies. The newly released trailer for the third installment of Bioshock does not take place in Rapture any longer but Columbia, A floating city in the sky that is literally falling.

It seems to be just as interested as Rapture but with a more American moral induced, Uncle Sam feel. Gosh I am looking forwards to it. Released in 2012 apparently I am eagerly waiting for it.

The 3D animation is stunning, once more like Bioshock 2, it is clear that the people at 2K games really know their stuff and know how to pull you in. It gives me a reason to indulge in 3D more often. It is beautiful...Ahem.

So please enjoy the trailer...I know I did.
