More than anything else, the convergence of accessibility to high technology and a generation of adults who grew up as gamers means that those grownups are able to realize the dreams of creating movies and songs based on the games they grew up with.
I submit as a case in point:
While yes, there are some issues with cheesiness, the sheer fact that this is even possible is extremely uplifting. As extremely high end equipment and software comes ever closer to the realm of affordibility, we will only see more and more of these types of projects. In a sense, we are in the beginning of a renaissance in the audio and visual arts.
We talked the other day about OCRemix.org and what they’re doing. Canon has recently released their EOS 5d Mark II, which can be used to shoot some pretty astoundingly high quality video footage considering the base package is under $3000. Combine that with around $1500 worth of software such as Adobe’s Creative Suite CS4 Master collection, and you now have the capability to create films that could be considered theatrical quality.
For those who grew up playing Mega Man, this concept may excite you, even if it does end up being somewhat hokey, the fact that it is even possible excites the young gamer in all of us.
