Game Art: Michael Fargarden's "Shocktrip" series (2003, 2006)

"Second part of the Shocktrip videos starring Bernard Wesseling as the main character. I experimented with a film technique for this video that simulates the platform type games of the 90's (like Super Mario Bros). Set in a city landscape the avatar has to keep moving, picking up tools and using them in following levels while chased by zombies and other enemies."

"One of my old video works from my time at the GRA-academy. I still like most of it as it started my research into virtual and actual landscapes. This video was inspired by games like Wolfenstein and Doom, hence the firstperson perspective. Another motive I took from games was to let the main character use items he found earlier in the video. Enjoy!"
