A few weeks ago I went to go see an art installation at the
Curators Office gallery in DC. The installation was an animation called "Sacrifice of the Mushroom Kings." I found out about this exhibit by reading an article posted on Kotaku (

That's exactly what it was. This story could have been better told without using video games as a gimmick for attracting viewers. There was no connection between the message and the characters used. The render quality of the piece did stand out but quality is expected for anything being shown in a gallery setting. The animation was shoddy, characters feet weren't properly on the ground along with the jittering between different phases of movement. Please reference the "
Animator's Survival Kit." Here's the trailer:
