Incredibly Cool Animated JUDGE DREDD Proof of Concept Test Inspired By AKIRA's Bike Chase Sequence

I know y’all want to see some Judge Dredd awesomeness! I’ve got an animated video here for you to watch of a proof of concept test that was created last year by Studio AiXA and posted online by animation artist Joan Cabot, Principal Previs Artist at Activision Blizzard who also worked as Director of camera and lighting on the sequences at Studio AiXA.

This is super impressive work and now I just want to see a Judge Dredd animated series in this style so bad! Studio AiXA created it to showcase the art style and to test the technology used to produce it. The company explains that this scene was inspired by the bike chase sense in Akira.

“It was conceived as an homage to Akira, in its 30th Anniversary. A humble CG ‘Remake’ of the famous bike chase sequence. It was shared with Rebellion in order to start a conversation about an animated series. Although they liked the test and the conversation started, Rebellion had nothing to do with the creation of this animated clip.”

I hope this actually sparks interest for people with the ability to turn this into a full-fledged series! Check out the animated short below and enjoy the ride!
