We’ve already appreciated some of the incredible movie concept art from years past. But there’s plenty of gorgeous design work coming out from the movies of 2010. Here’s our tribute to the artists who are making today’s films beautiful.

30 Minute Fan Made Batman Film

From Sci Fi Wire by Scott Edelman

The budget for Christopher Nolan’s 152-minute The Dark Knight? An estimated $185,000,000.

The budget for Aaron Schoenke’s 30-minute Batman: City of Scars? $27,000!

Shot in just 21 days, City of Scars can’t compare to a big-screen blockbuster with a budget 6,851 times larger (if we’re doing our math right), but it’s an impressive achievement.

I am a big fan of art in general and seeing how it has developed is awesome. The year of 2010 has brought some really great movies to the screen and the art behind them is amazing! Holy Batman! I didn’t watch the whole 30 minute movie but the beginning looks sweet! And to think they had a low budget and filmed in 21 days, that takes talent!

What do you think of the art that makes todays films beautiful? And did you watch that Batman movie? What did you think of it?
