GAME ART

Game Art: Kent Sheely's "Ready for Action: GTA IV (Subway)" (2012)

Kent Sheely, Ready for Action: GTA (Subway), machinima, 2012I am in love with Kent Sheely's new machinima piece. It reminds me of Miltos Manetas' "What Happens?" (2001) (part of the seminal"Videos after Videogames" series) and Jean Baptiste's "Man Waiting For" (2011). The interstitial moments between intense action scenes are what make videogames truly interesting. A man, a machine gun, a subway station. "The burger shot". Priceless.
