This was recently posted over at CGTalk. There are so many video games produced each year, that many of them go unnoticed. This is a great compilation of animation from Nintendo Wii’s EA title “Boogie Superstar”.

 From Lloyd J Colaco:

Here are some of the animations I did for EA’s Boogie Superstar.

A little info on the game…
It’s a dance game designed exclusively for the Wii and targeted towards tween girls. It also features Karaoke in the gameplay. The game involves players waggling the Wii Remote to simple two-beat prompts, such as swinging the Remote side-to side or up and down in time to on screen directions.
I would like to mention that I have ONLY done the Animation. The rigs, models, concepts, characters were done by the Boogie team at EA Montréal, I’m thankful to be part of such a talented group. Kudos to Luis Alonso for setting up some cool animation friendly [Read more…]

In the vein of classic zombie films like “Night of the Living Dead”, “Dawn of the Dead”, or anything George Romero,  the upcoming survival horror game “Left 4 Dead” would look right at home on the screen of a late night drive in movie. It looks as though EA, Valve, and Turtle Rock have done everything right. This opening cinematic does a great job of showing the character types and their interaction as they just try to survive.

With areas to explore like an old railroad bridge, a hospitol, and even an expansive forest, you have many ways to have your own zombie experience. The voice acting and animation seem to be top notch. I think a feature in this style of this caliber could do well.

Look for “Left 4 Dead” on November 18th.
