Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Great work - this is something really special. 

 

The decaying streets of Gotham. A city ruled by crime and fear. A city under the watchful eye of masked vigilante, the Batman. The balance of good versus evil is disturbed as a cackling mad-man carves his name into the skin of Gotham City, deep and unrelenting. The Joker makes his mark. And leaves a scar.

Written and directed by M.Layton Taylor and Del Monroe.
Score: Hans Zimmer & Danny Elfman
Additional music: 'The Ink Spots'

Created using 'Grand Theft Auto IV' by 'Rockstar Games' for Windows.

Art of Animation | My Digi Nexus

Art of Animation | My Digi Nexus | Machinimania | Scoop.it
If the artist in you loves to tell stories, love to imitate people, talk , walk, fight, emote or do simple chores, if you have a hidden actor in you that observes keenly and sharply, yet is shy to perform out there, then as an animator, let your art  do the performance. In one line if we describe animation, it is creating the Illusion of movement. Of-course like every other trade , you have to learn the science and art of this trade too. You’d have to sharpen your skills and learn the techniques to tell your story better and accurately, and that is exactly when you’ll find out if you really have an animator in you..
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Defining  artistic skillsets require your aesthetic sense or appeal, sense of timing, sense of movement, balance, sense of weight, flexibility etc , to be an animator while technical skillset is the know how of various or any one 3D software prevalent in the market, its various tools , plugins etc for the final output- click for full story.

In the midst of the massive geek Mecca that is San Diego Comic-Con, the big Marvel Studios movie panel had all the theater of a presidential campaign rally. Tom Hiddleston appeared in costume as Loki, the bad guy from Thor, and rallied the crowd in character. Then: so many movie stars, including the full casts of the upcoming Captain America sequel and Guardians of the Galaxy. And just when it seemed like it was over, Joss Whedon, patron saint of nerds, walked out for a Steve Jobsian one-more-thing and introduced the first teaser for The Avengers sequel. Eight thousand fans, some of whom had been waiting in line since the night before, shrieked like their souls were being ripped from their bodies.
