Character and Narrative


Bioshock

One of my favourite Animations/ Games to date has to be the Bioshock series, not just for the entertainment value of playing a game, but the amazing way in which the characters are involved in the narrative, it takes a few play through's to understand every aspect of the story, but it is definitely worth it.

From the environments


If anything the city is represented as a character, with a life of its own, that is integrated into the narrative

To the characters


They all work in conjunction, and they are executed perfectly.

This is a great example as to how the narrative works perfectly with the characters. the pre production through to post production shows how this success happened, even the pitch is an incredibly detailed document with many pages which shows how much thought went into created the game, and it all paid off to create such an immense story, accompanied by amazing characters.
