Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Great video for anyone interested in game animation. Ueda games are a really good case for how animation conveys a mood in a game.

I'm not particularly interested in animation, but I'm 15 minutes in and this is pretty good so far. Especially once it gets to SotC.

Not strictly animation but there's another good breakdown here:

I skipped ahead in the Extra Credits video and seeing the first colossus intro again, I always liked how motion blur combines with the trees shaking. Like there's a really low frequency rumble from the footsteps.

Well keep in mind the original PS2 version only ran at 20fps (with frequent dips into the mid teens) during the actual colossus fights. Those long frame times certainly helped.

Great video. Despite being animation focused, I'm glad it spends so much time on the camera which is one of my favorite 3D cameras ever. I wish he touched on one of the flying colossi where the wide view camera framing really has to work hard to keep up, yet still provides great compositions.
And I always thought Wander's run cycle was strange and oddly snappy in the knees. Heh. Really doesn't take away from what they accomplished anyway.

Easily. You could call it Horse 2k6 if it wasn't for all the Colossi! ;P

That was a great watch and another reminder of why this game is still my favorite of all time. Thanks for sharing.

He also did a great one on pose design, using the Tracer victory pose controversy as the main case study:
