Very nice. Great motion and anticipation. I think the music could have been cut better though.

Not PS1 or PS2 but cinematics for a PS2 game. Whatever that means.

I’m seconding josh on this one… character animation denotes just that; a personality in the way things move. These characters move a bit like a first gen video game would…not sure if that’s the intended idea at play here? The fisheye is also a bit much, this is not close to the wideangle lenses used in videos for these sports. Again feels very ps1 videogame.

However to their credit, the clouds, modeling, and compositing are neato amazing

I love it. The art direction and execution in the environments is some of the best I’ve seen – but wish they rotoscoped actual athletes performing the maneuvers.

I have to throw in my two cents because nobody has mentioned it yet. Note the surfing/waves, that is the best job that I’ve ever seen a motion graphics company do. I can name a number of great studios that have attempted to create the same style of waves/surfing and the attempts have come up very short.

Great job!!!

I love the look and feel. Good choice for soundtrack too… seems like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs should be in the credits. I always thought it was kind of weird how studios use music without bothering to credit the source.

This is some of the best work I’ve seen. The character animation is right on point. The skateboarder and snowboarder animation is amazing!

I really like that design / environment and backgrounds. The fish-eye cam works a treat too. I think the character design and character animation is slightly off the mark though. It’s good but not up to the standard of the rest of the piece. Still Great work though…
