Milt Kahl Mowgli Pencil Test

It's amazing the fluidity of this animation, even though it'S a pencil test. The acting choices are also truly remarkable.

PS4 Demo - The Dark Sorcerer

There are a couple of things worth noticing in this demo other than the level of detail of the graphics. First, I think the whole story is really cool. I liked a lot how it starts like a generic demo but then suddenly shifts towards a more comedic story.

Secondly are the performances of the actors. Sure, it's motion capture, but the nuances and the detail on the performance is incredible, especially the troll goblin.

Third is the staging of the plot, everything from the choice in costumes to the set itself. The cellphone is the ebst example of how thought this demo was.

Enjoy it!
