Quantcast



I was informed earlier today that the second part in a series of animated shorts inspired by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been out for a while now, and after seeing the strong response the first video got, I had to make sure everyone saw the follow-up.

So yes, it is "old," but then again it's not like this stuff is time sensitive or anything. Anyway, I found this short, "The Duty," to be generally more interesting than "The Call." So much so, that I had a tough time deciding which still image to use for this post. As you can see, the sociopath in me won out.

Once again, this video was rated five stars by YouTube members. Thanks to Dtoider DaedHead8, here's another clip that ranked highly. Yes, I did just lose about 99% of you, but it was so worth it.

Animation? It's more of a slide show.

Bahahha, that Edarem clip is awesome. I almost forgot about that. lol

The CoD animation is pretty swanky too.

This "animation" seems like half done. Some of them are black and white or are scribbled. And almost all of it is slide show. The actual drawing is okay though.

I'm with Jozo, this reminds me of Ashley Wood's(the artist behind MGS:Digital Graphic Novel and Portable Ops) art style at many times throughout the vid. Very nice indeed.

Hah, thinking about it now, I think I'd pay for a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Digital Graphic Novel, lol.

@ Calamansi, Chronic Logic...

art directors are we?

If its 2D and it has movement at all, its 2D animation. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out fella's. Constructive critism is only constructive when it is constructive...otherwise it is just critism without reason.

They call me Captain Obvious. Present your gifts now.

Yea, this was better than the first short, even though the first was really cool. The rap video at the end was... unexpected.

These shorts are really just "animatics." Basically moving versions of storyboards. I expected more.
