Mad World







Mad World is a videogame created for the Nintendo Wii, which has inspired me a lot. The graphics are cel-shaded, meaning that they resemble a kind of cartoon look. Cel shaded games are mostly used for games based on caroons of childrens games. There are some exceptions, such as The Legend of Zelda WInd Waker and Okami, that use cel shaded graphics to create a visually stunning world. Mad WOrld is different in that it limits the colours to black, white and red. Also the game is really violent, and therefore an exception. The art of this game is very striking and thats what captured my interest in it. In modern times, when advancements in graphics mean photorealism, Mad World has a unique and visually powerfull look that really inspired me. I will probably use a similar style for my animation, but might decide to experiment with different colours.
