E3 just happened, for those who live in caves. And it was far superior to the boring and bizarre trio of clusterfuckery that was last year's show (which shattered the hearts of many gamers).
For me though the highlight was this incredible trailer for a game series I dont play and never will.
they even managed to sneak a Blue Meanie into it at around 2:40 seconds. This was made by the same animators who do the Gorillaz.

someone reminded me of this the other day
its a film ng user kol-belov made which he couldnt put here. mainly i think because at the time, the limit on filesizes here was much much smaller. i recall the swf on his site being massive like 16mb or more.
anyway.

Long ago (long in this case being 2002 or 2005) there was a piece of software called MOHO. It was a rival to flash mx with different toolsets and such and allowed you to give 'skeletons' to 2d characters, kind of like how CS4 tried to do but failed miserably because Adobe is a terrible company who fucking hate their customers and never fix anything.
Then, MOHO was bought out and its name was changed to Anime Studio. Before this happened, the site for the software had some really neat music videos, cartoons, commercials, and such made by the software. Most of which were european.
When it became ANIME STUDIO PRO all these examples were wiped off the face of the internet.
Luckily some are still on youtube.
the first one is a neat music video called Gumanoid

I wonder what´s the story behind "knowledge of the cone". Maybe those cones in the beginning are a key to this mystery?
