The animation director talks about what the abrupt animation process was like and tackling a universal video game icon for a new audience.
San Diego Comic-Con Malaga is proving to be a transmedia experience that thousands of visitors from around the world are enjoying, and Gamereactor is on the ground, of course, covering it live. In just a few hundred square metres you can cross paths with the artist of your favourite comic, the creator of that board game you love so much, or the directors of the series and videogames that keep you awake at night. In the case of the talk ‘Unlocking Secret Level’, we have a bit of the last two.
Amazon Prime Video’s Secret Level series takes inspiration from video games of all eras to show a different side of them through the high-quality animation of Blur studio, the same people who brought us Netflix’s ‘Love, Death and Robots’. However, three of those episodes were commissioned to Illusorium, a Spanish animation studio based in Madrid.
