In honor of the Animatus 20th Anniversary, we’re offering The End Of The Line for the low price of $20 this holiday season.
“The End of the Line – Rochester’s Subway” tells the little known story of the rail line that operated in a former section of the Erie Canal from 1927 until its abandonment in 1956. The forty-five minute documentary recounts the tale of an American city’s bumpy ride through the Twentieth Century, from the perspective of a little engine that could, but didn’t.
“The End of the Line” Special Edition DVD contains over forty-five minutes of extra features, including three featurettes, a massive photo archive, outtakes, subtitles, and a subway map insert.
To buy your video directly from Animatus at this special price, go to http://animatusstudio.com/store/video.html
One of our recent top secret projects was creating characters and artwork for Hopping Bird Productions’ new iPhone game, ASPERATA.
We’re pleased to announce that the game is now available for download!
Asperata is a warrior woman tasked with defeating a horde of desert sand creatures (commonly known as mummies). More than a simple shooter game, Asperata requires both skillful screen taps and tilting of the device to control your weapons, along with careful attack planning and defense.
