This game looks awesome you can preorder it on amazon too: Final Fantasy III

These instruments are known as “Escopetarras”, a fusion of gun and guitar, created by Cesar Lopez. Lopez got the inspiration for the invention while standing outside a bombed Bogotá club and noticing the similarities between his guitar and a soldier’s rifle (whaaa?).

Partnering up with musical instrument craftsman, Luis Alberto Paredes, he has been creating the instruments ever since. Initially made out of Winchester rifles, they are now made mostly from everyone’s favorite Cold War assault rifle, the AK47.

I don’t really see any use for these, and the acoustics can’t work too well because of the body and shape of the guitar, but, I don’t think anyone purchasing a fusion gun and guitar are going to sit around sing Goom-By-Ya.

Modern Anime Composition

Scene from The Big OThe use of color and shape in American cartoons is a direct descendant of seven minute Warner Brothers shorts. Bright primary and secondary colors, the same as from a small box of crayons. Objects have heavy black outlines. Bright contrasting colors, the same as on children’s’ toys. Every scene is filled with light even if it is taking place in a dark cave, and the camera angle is stuck in a perpetual three quarters view.

The simple shapes and simple colors are designed to appeal to the very young. It is designed to sell a product, like a bright colored cereal box. Japanese animation, in contrast, is not all produced for those who are still on their first set of teeth. Visual design and color schemes are wildly varied and custom tailored to suit the mood of the anime.

A “shining” example of how different style can be is the 1999 television series The Big O. The story is set in Paradigm City, the last remaining corner of organized civilization left in a post apocalyptic future.
