Dev. Test - Kara

Kara is a short film using PS3's newest (at the time) game engine and motion capture software. Everything is rendered in real time, showing just how powerful the new engine was. The end product is beautiful, and if they were to turn this into an actual game, I'd have to play it just for the graphics.

That isn't the only thing good about this short though; there's an element of social commentary to it, not just with the loss or lack of free will, but also sexism - the whole 'you're not supposed to think' and 'do what you are told' has been a problem, and still is across the world for women. With parents like the creator of the Kara robot here, and children brought up as robots, to do everything their parents say and to be exactly what is expected of them and nothing else conveys a really clear image, to me. This along with the stunning graphics is what makes Kara one of my favorite shorts.
