View Full Version : e3 Area 51 trailer-our latest work
punchatz 05-20-2004, 11:33 PM I thought you guys might like to have a peek at our latest project. We at Janimation created this trailer for Midway games upcoming FPS Area 51. It was a blast to do, its not every day you get to work with such cool subject matter. We directed and produced the whole spot except for the game play edit. It was done in XSI 3.51, Shake, AE. The heart was done in a beta version of XSI 4.0.
A big thanks to the whole janimation team everyone did an OUTSTANDING job!
Enjoy!

Looks great. The heart was amazing! ( I have unfortunately had to sit through a class of watching just that sort of thing in real life and that looked just about perfect.... disturbingly.) So much detail in that animation! My only comment would be that those are some huge shells coming out of those guns, but I assume that's intentional, especially considdering how they behave appropriately heavy. Nice work!

Our poor server got over loaded, it should be back soon!
But we might have to disable the hi res movie.
:cry:
Ed: Thanks! We did it in about twelve weeks, we supevised the sound and did all the voice over work as well! John Mcinnis did the docters voice, we hired a pro but Johns read was so much better! I did all the sceams,HA! We also rewrote most of it.
Thanks everyone for checking it out!

You talking about that light gun game right?
If so, this game is base on that game.

WOW! Thanks for the inerest everyone and thanks for the mirrors. We have moved things around to better handle the traffic. Hopefully this will help all those who could not download.
We had no idea the kind of hits this would generate!
