The directors and Riot Games worked closely together, exploring new animation and rendering and compositing techniques. By choosing to veer away from the more conventional CG gaming aesthetic they, together, brought an enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm to this project.

Di Chris Brown anche i media italiani ne hanno parlato per motivi non certo musicali, qui invece ci occupiamo del suo nuovo video, I Can Transform Ya, diretto dal regista Joseph Kahn. Questi si è ispirato ai film della saga Transformers per la realizzazione del filmato, usando l’effetto bullet time a piccole dosi e con il cantante e ballerini in versione guerrieri ninja. E’ tutto molto tecnologico ma non patinato, insomma da graffitaro. Effetti visivi realizzati dallo studio californiano Ingenuity Engine.

Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings will be on display at the University Art Museum from Sept. 12th to December 13th. The piece is a constantly changing series of light paintings created by Eno and set to – of course – a soundtrack of his creation. The idea is that as these paintings morph into each other there is no possible way for any combination to repeat itself. You can also buy the DVD for home hypnotization, which is kind of like a way smarter version of that fireplace video your Aunt and Uncle who never had kids thought was so cool.
