History of Videogames
by Hermes, January.11.2009
This is a short visual history of videogames and I must say, the visuals are actually pretty good! Just like Sarah's article, this one also uses great motion graphics to tell the story. My favorite is the Sega and Nintendo verbal war about who's cooler and how the Dreamcast's mum thinks he's cool. Kyle Downes created all this for his school in a span of four months.
"Okay, so down here in Australia most people say "see-ga" rather than "say-ga". Plus; I totally think that voice at the start of the Megadrive games sounds a whole lot more like "see-ga" or "seh-gah", than "say-ga"
This is my major project for 3rd year BA(multimedia) at RMIT (which I graduate from this year), created over about 4 months.
Software used: Maya 8.5, After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash.
All modelling/texturing/lighting, animating and compositing done by me.
Voice over by Josh Molenkamp, who was kind enough to record for me while I was helping him with his 2nd year project."
