Technolgies and talent in the film and video game worlds often overlap, especially when it comes to animated movies. Valve’s Source engine has already been used for some great gaming visuals and now it’s about to be leveraged for the silver screen as the developer will be collaborating with Irish production company Brown Bag Films on a new animated feature film.
Shane Acker, known for the quirky animated movie 9, is working on a new animated movie called Deep and it will make use of Valve’s Source engine for rendering, editing, animation and lighting. The movie’s already in pre-production and will also lead to a marketing tie-in with a video game based on the film. The Steam platform is also being considered for distribution.
