It's pretty obvious at this point that just about every great video game trailer is by
Blur, including the
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City trailer I posted a few days ago.
In fact, I mentioned Prey 2 the other day, but haven't posted the terrific trailer for the game, which of course was also made by Blur. Think Blade Runner meets The Fifth Element (with a little adult language), set to a country western version of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage:
Blur's so good that the studio does little to nothing to promote itself, letting the work speak for it. And the Blur artists that even have personal websites have websites that are well out of date. That being said, here's a look at few of the people responsible for Blur's great work.
Shaun Absher's work includes modeling the Sith Inquisitor for The Old Republic opening cinematic and Batman for the DC Universe Online trailers. Since
I've already posted those, here's something he created for fun:
Joshua James also worked on the Old Republic and DCU trailers (and
created the tattoo for the The Girl With the Dragon tattoo):
Toni Bratincevic
has posted images from some of his older projects for Blur including Force Unleashed (and also has prints from personal projects
on sale):
Eric Durante worked on the trailers for The Goon, RE, Bioshock Infinite, and more. Here's a look a gladiator he created for a personal project:
Jason Martin was the character lead on the Resident Evil trailer and has also teased some Tyger Guard characters from Arkham City (see the latest trailer
here):
Alessandro Baldasseroni has posted some of the models he created for ToR, The Goon, and Force Unleashed (you can watch the trailers
here):
Heikki Anttila has posted several images from TFU and ToR:
