Game: Valkyrie of the Battlefield

Penguin January 11th, 2008

I normally don’t post about video games, but this one stood out to me. The animation was done by Production IG, the same people who are responsible for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and parts of Evangelion. Most games and computer animation in general, have a very particular style that looks computer generated. This was different. This really caught my eye.

I love the idea of using computers to render pencil drawings. I can’t help but wonder when they’ll be doing animation in ink, watercolors, or pastels. It really opens the doors for something beautiful and non-traditional. I also love the blend of technology and classic mediums.

If only they would animate a movie in this style.
