Street Fighter IV Inspirational Motion Graphics – Opening Cinematic from Megalongcat on Vimeo.
I’m a huge Street-Fighter fan. I remember back when my mother could mop the floor with me on the SNES in the game. That day was yesterday. But I digress. Street Fighter IV has gotten it right with its opening cinematic by combinding 3d animation with after effects to create a vividly stunning motion graphics compositing piece. The organic swooshes, swirls, and painter-eqsue feel give the opening sequence a gritty and dark quality which seperates it from other games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, King of fighters, and even Virtua Fighter by not focusing on the clean, clear, and crisp style which is laden with female-looking japanese men. True to the game’s aesthetic, this motion graphics piece serves as a great example of visual inspiration.
