The Beatles Rockband Intro

BEST ADVERTISING OR PROMOTIONAL FILM, Annecy Festival 2010!!!

Pete Candeland has created an inspirational cinematic intro for the long awaited The Beatles: Rockband video game.

I was part of the compositor's team. I was responsible for the shot where the Beatles clothes, on the escalator are transforming and the folowing one with the crazy sun and planets fun fair.

I love this whole film, but especially that fiery black sun and the surreal stuff at the end. Great song choices, too.

When I played this game for the first time, I had only heard a few Beatles songs and was interested in hearing more of their music through a video game. I let this intro play and at first I was like "Ok classic Beatles songs. Pretty cool." Then once "Here Comes the Sun" began playing I was like "Ok now here comes the drug induced Beatles". And once "I Am The Walrus" kicked in, the next scene I saw made me go "Oh crap this just got intense!" Man what a great intro for a great band.

Of all the uploads of this that i have seen, this one has the best quality.
