This is a year old, but still fun. Kyle Downes’ major project for his his 3rd year BA chronicles the history of video games from Pong, through the videogame crash led by the Atari ‘ET’ disaster, the rise of Nintendo, and the current war of the consoles.
This is my major project for 3rd year BA(multimedia) at RMIT (which I graduate from this year), created over about 4 months.
Software used: Maya 8.5, After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash.
All modelling/texturing/lighting, animating and compositing done by me.

What about Intellivision???? Great video.. Can I use it in my class?
Fine by me, but you may want to contact Kyle Downes directly.
Nice visuals, but the “history of videogames”? Ridiculous. Rename it “The History of Console Gaming” and you may be in the ballpark, otherwise you really do need to read more history books.
