Its short runtime gives it more of a trailer feel than a full-fledged story, but given their small sample size, they did what they felt was appropriate and rolled with it.

Terrible Fate genuinely looks like a major-motion picture animated by DreamWorks or something. What anyone and their grandmother can note immediately with this project is that the animation and design is phenomenal. The major appeal to a project like this is the height at which they can provide for what they’re given. Story-wise, they don’t add much, simply taking the premise that Majora’s Mask provides and fills in the blanks a tad. The video in particular is Emberlab’s take at the origins of Majora’s Mask‘s story, where the Skull Kid comes across Majora’s Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman. I’m not usually prone to writing about short videos on Youtube, but if Porter Robinson’s “Shelter” can receive the amount of attention it does for showcasing a story inside a six-minute music video, then so can Emberlab’s four-minute fan video concerning The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. If my writing this post is any indication, it did enough for me to urge writing about it. It wasn’t until a recommendation from Lyle McDouchebag, who is typically pretty cynical about everything, that I decided to give it a try. While the thumbnail is definitely enough to draw my attention, the title didn’t really give me enough to consider giving it a view. The game features immersive haptic feedback including simulated string resistance for Kena’s Spirit Bow.I had seen this video among my Youtube recommendations a few times in the last couple days, but I didn’t pay too much mind to it. Kena: Bridge of Spirits has been designed to take advantage of the PlayStation 5 hardware and DualSense controller. The film was named Best Film at DragonCon Best Sci-Fi by Hollyshorts Best VFX, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best of Fest at Filmquest and is a Worldfest Remi Award Winner. It has been viewed more than 20 million times on YouTube and Facebook and has been praised as one of the best game-inspired fan films.Įmber Lab also released an original sci-fi/fantasy short film titled Dust.

The short combines real-world locations and CG characters. The team previously made Majora’s Mask - Terrible Fate, a short fan film released in 2016 that explored the dark origin story of the Skull Kid. The studio was formed in 2009 by brothers Josh and Mike Grier with the mission to tell great stories with universal appeal. She is on a journey of self-discovery, and she is trying to figure out the mystery of the demise of an ancient village that was once part of a thriving environment. Using her staff and the help of her collection of tiny companions known as the Rot (the cute fuzzy critters), the player will disarm adversaries, unlock new skills, uncover secrets, and restore the beauty of the land.Įmber Lab is a small indie studio working on character-driven animated commercials and branded game apps for clients such as Coca-Cola, Major League Baseball, and Hisense. In a release, Los Angeles-based Ember said the game is a story-driven action-adventure, blending narrative with exploration, puzzle-solving, and fast-paced combat for a beautiful, immersive journey. Kena is a young girl known as a Spirit Guide. The game is coming in the 2020 holiday season on the PS5, PS4, and Epic Games Store on the PC. Sony made the announcement during its PlayStation 5 reveal event.
