SSSEEN!

Quite the visual treat, with a stunning combination of both 2D and 3D animation. From Passion Pictures Studio, Directed by Pete Candeland of Gorillaz music video fame.

A small & funny commercial for the Wario Land: Shake It! game for the Nintendo Wii. Directed by Jeff Goodby of Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

Now we for something different: cracktros! These are intros made by release groups, dating back to C64 games (maybe earlier?). It’s mostly programmed (correct me if I’m wrong) graphics and these coupled with chip tune music or old school MOD-type music these bring back the good old times! They sure are charming! The video above is made by Dream Design/SAC, not really sure for what game though.

This is the Razor 1911 Cracktro #11 by Hetero/SAC made in 1997 for the “release” of Quake 2. Apparently Superior Art Creations (SAC) have their own site where you can check more of their cracktros ans Flickr pages where you can check their ASCII-art. Just check out their page for a full list – good stuff!

The intro for the British comedy series IT Crowd. I’m not really sure who made the intro, but the pixelartstyle is done really nicely, as well as the “error”-effect.

The DVD has awesome extras in its menus. This is the first Season DVD extra, which resemble those old isometric adventure games. Love the remix chiptune intro!

The second season has some parodies of games we all know. This one is done by the British Studio CHASE.

Lego meets videogames in this impressive display of stop motion animation.

A really cool MS Paint style in this game, Runman: Race Around the World, made by Tom Sennett and Matt Thorson.

The trailer for the indie game Blueberry Garden by Erik Svedang. Interesting art style and atmosphere.
