some awesome Star Wars animation videos !!

hello blog peeps got some star wars themed videos for you today.
As most people know i am a huge star wars fan, seen the films (love the original, loathe the new ones), read the books and comics, played the games, pretty much every media star wars has been involved with, good moneys on that i've had my hands on it. It is probably my biggest influence to date, the awesome story, the richness of the characters (boba"the man"fett) so here are some various animated clips of the star wars saga !!



Heres a trailer for the up coming Bioware game Star Wars the Old Republic. It's really a shame how a games company can surpass Lucas's prequel monstrosities i.e jar jar binks, while bioware makes an awesome 4 minute trailer.

Next up is a music video for Mc Chris's song IG-88 based upon the droid character from the Empire Strikes Back. Some people may recognize Mc Chris from his portrayal as Mc Pee Pants from Adults Swim Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Unfortunately I'm unaware whether this is an official music video or its a fan creation.


Finally here's a video of 2 tv spots for the game Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. These games look awesome carrying on from the original game taking force powers to the extreme melting stormtroopers and crushing tie fighters with your mind !

More soon !!!!

Skill Set Thingy

Ok two posts in one day weird... anyway, Here's a brief rundown of my strengths and weaknesses

Strengths:
  • Awesome Imagination (years of cartoons and books, thank you)
  • Competent art skills (always improving)
  • Whizz on Illustrator
  • Storyteller (script writer)
  • Confident speaker
Weaknesses:
  • 3D work (bane of my life, can build models but can't rig them, must work on this)
  • easily distracted (like a moth, I swear to god)
  • get to caught up in writing stories ( I focus on one event and i spin out of control)
Am sure there's more to both categories but these are the main one to focus and work on.

ANIMATIONS YEAH!!!!!

ok got some cool animations for you all to check out. Some flash stuff and some more traditional animations from the 80's the golden age of animation in my opinion, NOW THAT I'VE SAID IT, IT MUST BE TRUE !!!!!!

Ok first up is a flash animation Press Start Bonus Levels, these animations can be found on their website DarkMazeStudios.com, youtube and newgrounds.


Okey Dokey now we got a flash animation by Jazza Studios this guys stuff can be found on youtube and newgrounds, slight warning it's a bit sick.


Finally I've been able to get a decent video of Paul "Otaking" Johnson's Doctor Who Anime, this is a fan based animation tis so cool, full of nerdy goodness.


This next animation is a bit more traditional than the rest, Dead Space Downfall, based on the video game, pretty gruesome but really enjoyable.


This is the animation that made me fall in love with animation, I recently found a decent copy of a couple of weeks a go and I still love it, for me this is what animation should be. So here's a clip of my favorite scene from one of my favorite movie's ever Flight of Dragons.


This clip's only real purpose is to strengthen the point that I feel and will always feel that the 80's was the greatest time for animation. The stories and characters of that time inspire me to this day and this clip is the 80's !!!


So much better than the new movies.
