Inspiration - Cartoons and Animated Movies

The genius creators behind cartoons and animated movies have produced some of the best action sequences and landscapes ever seen on our screens. By learning to ring fence some of these animations and sequences can be a super powerful resource for getting inspiration for building games.

The true imaginary nature of these movies and episodes allow the impossible to be made real and thus dovetail perfectly when it comes to making games.

Creating new worlds and rules is exactly what we do when building games so there’s so much to pull from here. Once again, it’s all about training your brain into seeing small seeds of ideas and isolating the action.

Things to Consider:

• Action sequences
• Camera Angles
• Animation
• Situational Environments
• Colour Palettes
• Implausible Outcomes
