Check out this latest concept art for God of War III. Pretty nasty right? The title of this piece is “Fire Titan” and was drawn by Cecil Kim. To really understand the scale of this giant you have to look at Kratos in the upper right hand side of the image. I can only imagine [...]
While recuperating from last nights shenanigans I have been checking out the latest trailers over at apple.com/trailers and stumbled upon this little number. Everyone has seen it already, it is the Transfromers 2 super bowl spot, but man does it still look hot. Enjoy the next 40 seconds of such a simple yet unforgettable teaser.
Let me start off my saying Sorry! I have been really busy over the last week or so and haven’t been able to get around to posting anything. Some cool stuff is going on right now, however I can’t really speak about it just yet. I will let you all know when the time is [...]
This video was released today on Xbox Live. It includes gameplay footage of Lost Planet 2 and interview with Jun Takeuch. Check it out.
Check out this amazing short film series based on Half Life. It was “filmed guerrilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500″ Pretty badass for a budget of only 500 bucks. Kudos to The Purchase Brothers. Enjoy
(you [...]

I’ll just come out and say it. I am not feeling RE5’s viral video campaign. Termi stopped by the blog and commented about it the other day…so I thought I would do a quick post covering the two videos released so far.
I am pretty disappointed with what they’ve done here. There was so much potential [...]
It seems that companies love to announce games far before they are ready (little big planet, Sony’s Home, etc) You see these games/products and get super pumped, but after years of delays and seeing more about it…little excitement is left. So when is the right time to announce a game? That my friends is the [...]
Enjoy this new episode from our buddies over at Darkspire Films.
Love is a strong word…I know…but it is the truth. I truly love REAL sound design.
Ya…I know what you are saying under your breath right now, “Love can’t even describe the passion I have for TheDuoGroup’s videos” “what does he mean REAL sound design?” Let me give you a couple of scenarios:
1) I do the [...]
Ahhhh another lazy Sunday. While I lay here watching Vegas Vacation recovering from the weekend I have one nagging thought: I still need to film one scene. Shouldn’t be too hard, but I just gotta do it. Then it is off to Hybrid Two Sound Studios where they will lay some sound gold over the [...]
1,000 of you have subscribed to us on youtube?…what are you thinking?! You really want to see what will come next from TheDuoGroup’s psyche? I warn you, it is a dark and creepy place.
I kid I kid! We are thrilled that you want to see more of our work. We aren’t doing this for the [...]
You might not recognize the name realtime:uk, but I can guarantee that you can recognize some of the work they have done. Remember seeing the Motorstorm 2 video for the first time and having to pull your jaw off the ground when it was done? Ya that was them. Quick Fact: They also did the [...]
Happy New Years!
Well 2008 has come and gone and we over at TheDuoGroup are sad to see it go. It was a good year for us. It has been a pleasure creating videos and shorts for everyone and we got to meet some great people over at our forums to boot….yet I have a feeling [...]
I was watching ‘I Am Legend’ the other day and realized that the first 7 minutes of the film could easily have been a short film all by itself. And not only just some random short film, but an amazing short film. Haven’t seen the movie? Don’t have a clue what I am talking about? [...]
The nominees for the 2008 ‘Best of’ Halo Awards, hosted over at Hawty McBloggy, have been announced! Our short “Without Providence” has been nominated for ‘Best Video’ (thanks to all those who nominated us!), along with some other great videos done by our friends over at Smooth Few Films and Darkspire Films. There are 10 [...]
Well vacation is over and I have been thrust back in the real world with a greeting of -30° windchill in Chicago. Happy to be back? Just look at the picture above and you tell me. Alright Alright I’ll stop bitching… it isn’t that bad to back. While I was gone Eric has been creating [...]
Why do I always randomly come up with ideas that make me do tons more work that I want to? That’s life huh? Well take a glance at this picture here. This is just have of the layers that I had to deal with to get 2 shots. I think the shots came out pretty [...]
One of our friends sent us this amazing picture and I thought I would share it with you all. (Thanks Besto) It was taken from the Mt. Wilson Observatory on November 30th, over the smoggy beautiful Los Angeles area. You can see Jupiter at the very top and Venus, which is visibly brighter, to its [...]
You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?
Actually you should feel lucky because Darkspire Films has released its new season of Matchmaking! Check out the first episode of season two below…WHAT?!? You still haven’t seen season one?! We need to have a serious talk soon…ah ah ahhh…don’t say [...]
Termi stopped by our forums today and showed off his one of his latest works. He just finished creating a trailer for the well known game Crysis. He started working on this way back in the beginning of the year and it shows. Take a look at the trailer below. (I would advise clicking the [...]
To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t want to see my face when fully immersed in a game. I can only imagine the kinds of ways I am contorting my face….I would probably look like sloth from the Goonies but only worse. Ok maybe not that bad. But take a look at the video [...]
So I am all for the new Xbox Live update. It is sweet! And for the new avatars? I like them. A good amount of people bashed them prior to the release of the NXE (New Xbox Experience), but now it seems that most everyone likes them. It is pretty funny to see all your [...]
Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you’re not feelin’ real well, does anyone ever say to you, ‘Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays’?
Lawrence: No. No, man. Sh*t, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.
Always loved that line [...]
The main reason I do the “Studio Spotlight” post is because I feel that the creative studios behind the great trailers and videos we all know and love don’t get the credit they deserve. I bet most of us couldn’t rattle off more than 1 studio that has done a cool video game trailer. [...]
Rich Douglas is scoring an original piece for our upcoming Gears of War short and it sounds awesome! This is our first short with original music and it is a mini-milestone for TheDuoGroup. For as long as I can remember I have been editing to music that has already been made. Editing and creating a [...]
This Place is Balllller. I think you can tell for yourself…but I just had to say it. Park Road Post is a premiere post production facility in Wellington, New Zealand. This studio was built by Peter Jackson and he went all out. He didn’t overlook anything. Staying late working on your film? No worries, they [...]
Quick Update:
So we are almost finished with the video side of the project. I am hoping to have a picture lock tonight so we can send it over to Rich who is composing music for this piece. This project has taken a little longer than expected because of the tricks we have had to use [...]
The guys over at Smooth Few Films have just released their first episode of “Web Zeroes.” I’m glad someone is mixing it up in the machinma scene…being that they’re doing a live action episodic material about making machinima. I know…that just blew your mind didn’t it? So run on over to their site to check [...]
