Cuphead It is inspired by the arcade titles of the 80s and 90s, but its visual inspiration comes from classic animated films and cartoon shorts from the 1930s. The 50,000 animation frames were drawn on paper and inked by hand, and the background of each level is a watercolor painting. The game’s soundtrack is made up of more than three hours of live orchestral big band jazz music recorded. The only thing that equals attention to detail and authenticity is the difficulty of the game, which we have described as “a tough game.”
Like the game, the trailer released today is true to the 1930s style. The Stop Motion Department used many of the same techniques as the animators of the time, including the use of wooden heads, leather hands, and common primary shapes in children’s toys from the 1930s. The trailer was animated without programs. and the shots were used as is, without corrective editing. The Stop Motion Department used extracted graphics and metal gauges to record the position of each puppet and filmed the trailer with “C Mount” lenses from the 1930s.
“The whole process was designed from top to bottom to feel like the light-hearted and light-hearted movies and toy commercials of the 1930s, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out,” said Studio MDHR co-director Chad Moldenhauer. , in a blog. Send.
Regardless of where you play, the trailer is a delightful addition to the Cuphead world.
