Clock Blockers is a short action film which demonstrates a single idea much like most of the movies made by Corridor Digital. These video are very similar to the Freddiew videos, like the one I wrote about earlier, and this is because Freddie and his of camera partner Brandon live with Niko and Sam who are Corridor Digital.
The movie plays like some sort of video game, where each character has access to up to four ‘clones’ of them selves. Each of these clones follows a set path and as the film continues you can watch as the paths layer on top of one another and cross over. I think the real reason that this video is so interesting is the complexity of what they are doing. The film is only really about a fairly simple gun fight but the interaction of the multiple clones makes it much more exciting and compelling.
As such the making of this particular video is really interesting to watch. Seeing how they went about constructing the interlinking paths the clones would follow and how they managed to get them selves on screen, running around and interacting with one another up to ten times is a mind baffling ride. Throw a little bit of humour in there and you’ve got a great video.
Enjoy.
Is the emergence of a new genre, live action replications of game play? Art imitating art? Where can it go?
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't be surprising art reflects what people do and today they play a lot of games.
