The Witcher 3 modding community have conjured up a glorious new graphics update upon the PC community, which got me thinking; how can a non-professional modder/modding team manage to improve the look of one of the best looking games of all time? Seriously is it a case of the art team over at cd projekt red slacking? Or is the modding community more intelligent than we give credit for?
This isn't the first game that's been graphically tweaked by the community, in fact pick any triple A title on PC and chances are that there is some mod out there that turns it into a marvel.
I imagine this is how many indie teams are born, making the most beautiful games look better, gaining a following, then releasing a title themselves while people are still interested.
VFX:
Of all the movie trailers I've seen in the past few years, Deadpool's has to be up there. With Ryan Reynolds in the suit and 20th Century Fox producing this film looks likely to break records.
Looking at the trailer the film seems to be full of VFX action similar to any other superhero flick but with another layer woven in. Other Deadpool projects such as the game last year, always had this effect where the action would stop abruptly to allow Deadpool to say a witty line or joke. There's use of this in the trailer, (which I'l link below) where a Chevrolet flips over.
Expect this film to be packed with hilarious effects from the start.

Animation:
The Sea is Blue is a short film which is made entirely using claymation ans stop motion. It's a really nice looking video and is well worth anyone's time.
The project was lead by Vincent Peone, an award winning director famous for College Humour, Worst Friends, and Troopers. The film itself is brilliantly different and really pulls you in for the six or so minutes in runs for, with a calming voice narrating the event. You can see the time and effort put into every frame with the simplistic models and scenes.
I honestly can't explain it better than the film itself, so I'll just link it here, give it a watch and you'll know what I mean.
