Colorful Animation Expressions

As we talked about color today, I thought I would share this blog with you. A great resource!

 

Real nice to see all the posts appear by the way! It would be even better if they all had titles and were properly labeled...

Freaky!

Hey Everyone!

So..I wasn't really sure what to post, so I figured I would just put up a video of the newest game in a series that I've loved since childhood: Kingdom Hearts! It's made by one of my favorite gaming companies Square Enix, and I've always loved the attention paid to character and story. Their newest game Dream Drop Distance was made for the 3Ds. It's a little long, but here's the link for the English trailer. It shows some of the opening animation as well as a peek into the different worlds they offer in this game. Hope you enjoy!

This is a wonderful animation, with an interesting take on environments and incredibly simplistic character designs that get its (awesome) political message across. And it does all this without the need for any crazy models!
Yay simplicity!
