Studio Brief 1 - BattleBlock Theater

BattleBlock Theater Opening Cinematic


This is the opening animation for a game called BattleBlock Theater which was created by 'The Behemoth' which have a way of creating characters have little features and yet large amounts of expression. The playful faces and overall intro shows just what the game is like but also that this game and animation is for all ages, The language is very tame and the overall animation is easy to follow but i feel the sarcasm and humour will go over most peoples heads but it makes me laugh ever time so it is a good humorous introduction.

The purpose of this animation is to introduce the game and what it is about, but also introducing some of the main characters that are not yourself as a player and what the overall look of the game is and is like. This media is really good because it is all animated yet aesthetically it looks like paper puppets which is very clever of them to do. This also shows some of the humour, like when you can see the stick when the boat gets turned over.

The character design in this is very easy to do as it is boxes, circles and triangles with very pencil looking drawn faces which makes their aesthetic so desirable as it is so different yet simple.
