PauloGabriel — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:34:50 +0000

During the week we all get to see some amazing videos, and sometimes we just forget to share them with others. But not today. I've seen some pretty awesome videos that I would love to show you guys, and I just know that you're gonna love it.

4 videos from different artists: a cg show reel, an amazing dancing smoke (not the black smoke, obviously), dancing lights and a tilt shift master piece! These are amazing videos worth sharing. Enjoy, people! Cheers. ;)

I ♥ robots! I hope you do too because I have three robot-related things to tell you about. First, an awesome CG short film. Second, a look at the new Transformers 2 posters. Finally, some info on the upcoming Voltron movie.

Update (8/24/08):
- Apparently the Transformers 2 posters are fake. Sorry about that! Oh well, they are still really cool!

- Not too long after posting this Design Boom posted an awesome blog entry about female robots. Check it out.

1. World War

World War is a short film about two 1940s era vehicles that transform into robots and battle. It takes place 100 years after WWII, Hiroshima, Japan 2045 A.D. It was made by Vincent Chai, a recent graduate of the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. What's even more amazing was that he only used off-the-shelf softwares like Maya, Photoshop, and After Effects. This stuff looks like it was made in a professional CG studio! It's a great example that you don't need a huge budget to create stunning visual effects.

Go to his website to watch the complete short film (it also has an HD version) and check out the making of the film as well.

Here are some screen grabs:

2. Transformers 2 Posters

Two new posters for the upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen have been released and here's a glimpse. I really enjoyed the first movie so I'm excited that they are making a sequal.

3. Voltron the live action movie

I've heard rumors that someone wanted to make a live-action version of Voltron. Well apparently it's no longer a rumor. With the success of Tranformers, studios are jumping on the 80's cartoons-with-Robots bandwagon. What's next? A Go-Bots movies? Robotech? I used to love Voltron so I'm definitely interested. Plus I read they are supposed to use a similar type of style/effects that they used in the movie 300.

Read more about this at this i09 blog entry.

Here's a blog following the progress of the film: http://voltron-2008.blogspot.com/

and for your nostalgia, here are 2 clips from the 80's Voltron cartoons:

Awesome 3D Works

One of the greatest things about video games and movies CG is that it's getting totally realistic these days. Sometimes tou can't even tell that something you see isn't real, but CG.

Here are some great examples of this awesome art, computer graphics! I wonder if any of our readers has any CG works to show us! All these works were found at CG Society, an great community! ;)

Hmm... looks good.

Reminds me of Call of Duty 4.

Totally real =O
