I say hello!

I have to say this once and for all: I’m a long-time Beatles fan. Not very surprisingly Yesterday was one of the first song I learned to sing in English at school and I’ve been addicted ever since.

This morning I rushed to get a look at the opening cinematic for the new music video game around the Beatles that will be released at the beginning of September.

The video is simply superb: it was produced in part by Pete Candeland from Passion Pictures with the help of Robert Valley and Alberto Mielgo. Pete Candeland has previously worked on the Gorillaz videos and on several opening cinematics for similar video games.

Besides the seamless use of both 2D and 3D what is most stunning in this video is how well the team managed to recreate the visual exuberance of all the Beatles films while at the same time managing to use a visual language that would speak to a modern audience.
