look: animation très bien! . .

Gobelins does what Gobelins does best:

Brilliant work by Baptiste Rogron, Gaëlle Thierry, Rony Hotin, Maïlys Vallade, Jérémie Moreau, and David François.

As always make sure to browse the blogs to see some freaking amazing concept and making of stuff:

An amazing bit of animation, beautiful high contrast, grainy imagery, great music and sound, and great idea really all coming together. Bravisimo!

game: Machinarium. . .

When I first saw screenshots of this game, I almost cried with joy:

machinarium vytah

machinarium predhernou

When I saw the trailers I shed a tear of joy:

When I got to play the demo, tears of joy flew from my face. I would have been incredibly happy just to see still images that looked this fantastic, but when they have been made to be interactive, and when it has been done this well, something magical occurs. The artwork is gorgeous and plucking at my heart strings with every new scene, the characters, the environments, aren’t just pretty, they are clever in many senses as well. The puzzles are put together in a way that actually make you do some thinking, and make you smile when you solve them. The animation is top notch as well, there are a lot of nice little touches throughout the demo with little bits of interaction that are fantastic.

I have never played a game that was just so gorgeous that I played through a demo many times just to checkout the artwork some more. Bravo!!!!

One more thing to just further my obsession with little robots, I welcome more! . .

VOTE!: Maintaining Bohemia

Check out and vote for Maintaining Bohemia written by Harold Sipe and the one and only Buster Moody. It is currently part of a Zuda Comics March competition. Which ever one wins will actually be paid to create a monthly series.

Maintaining Bohemia

I don’t know about you chumpsters, but I don’t think there is much of a contest here. Not only is this little gem much better written than others, B-moods sense of sequencing and drawing style fits it perfectly with Harold’s writing. It really goes beyond feeling like something one guy wrote and another guy did the drawings for. It just works so well as a complete idea, making it easy for all (even for people obsessed with drawing or writing individually) to enjoy.

look: Après la pluie. . !

Après la pluie (And it Rained…)

(a film by Charles-André LEFEBVRE, Manuel TANON-TCHI, Louis TARDIVIER, Sébastien VOVAU, and Emmanuelle WALKER.)

2d, 3d, incredible animation, color, environment, characters, technique, brings a tear to my eye:

oh, the music and sound is great too, watch it again you fools. in my humble opinion, in terms of overall technique this technique and look and feel rivals anything else I have seen. I can't wait to learn some more about this one, and learn French. . .
