Hi guys!!

Please take a look here
a intro for a 3ds game with fight and itano circus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMOPIL2j9eE&feature=player_embedded

Those kind of intro animations are awesome

I remind me the awesome intro animation for valkyrie profile (a rpg)

I wonder , who generally do those animations ? internal artist of video game studios ?

Are they well paid , better than classical animators for tv shows ?

What do you generally think of those animations ?
The animation of rival schools are also nice.

Animations on project X zone the new big 3ds game are awesome , especially the in-game extra attack animations , looks like a paint moving wich is i wonder how they are made.
