Why i like his work!

He also knows how to create scenes with emotion making people feel sorrow moving the camera adding effects and changing colours to create the reaction he wants for the cut scene or section of the game.

I think Photography could of been used or manipulated ,photos of a street digitaly transforded/added to it. 

It looks like saturation was used to create a atmosphere , makeing it dark/gloomy to create the mood which in this picture would be scary or dangerous.  

The perpective looks towards the sky , makeing that character bigger more boss like whos strong and above the rest.

ocolation could of been used to help get a dusty effect with the two robot, makeing them look furter away and giveing it more depth.

Also layers could of been used, so the characters, the building, the car and sky could be put in defrently.

colour tones have been kept dark to give a tense amost hostile atmosphere.
