I did get a good laugh out of the Gordon Brown video. At around the 0:40 mark he punches some guy out in the corridor then throws a woman out of a chair and onto the floor, both accompanied by sound effects.
I'm not too worried by the idea that one day all news will look like this, though. These sort of animations are always going to be labour-intensive.
- nerme 16y agoWhat is labour intensive now is going to be rather easy to do in twenty years. Just think of some sort of Machinima based "gaming" program. Have your basic set of gestures for the actors, write up a little script, have someone control a camera, some voice-to-mouth animation. Forget about twenty years from now, you could probably rattle off something in an hour or two with a modified game engine.

- teamonkey 16y agoIf they were in-game cutscenes, at this level of quality I would expect it to take 3 people one work day to complete. Less if there's already a bank of props and animations. A production budget of maybe as much as $2500 (if produced in the US) and sold to half a dozen TV networks.
