Go Speedskater! By Jon Saunders Put together a little mix of fresh beats by Airpushers, a hell of a lot of textures and some serious Line Rider influence and you get Speedskater. A music video made by Kompost that does not delve too deep into meaning, but gives you pure motion entertainment, and sometimes that’s all you need. On the surface this video looks simple but the beautiful variations in what seems like an endless panorama adds great depth to the animation. Also the freeflowing and at times, crazy camera moves keep the animation going. Posted on 17 September 2007 \| Tags: miniatures This entry was posted on Monday, September 17th, 2007 at 3:10 pm.

Reminded me of Line Rider as well, especially the “rag doll” physics part. That and a little bit of Sonic the hedgehog. Well done, fun project.
