Can you tell what films are referenced in these three viral videos?(Check the first two related videos or click here to see two and three in the series). Sony Entertainment Network created them along with creative agency Studio Output to promote the PlayStation Store Video Store, with the aim of showing how a great movie can fill a room and make you feel like you’re at the heart of the experience.

The videos were all filmed in one take, with no post-production or any other SFX trickery, and were achieved using an innovative new image projection technique called immersive imaging, along with some smart design and choreography. What you can’t tell from watching the video alone is that the effect is reliant on the camera looking onto the scene at a particular angle at all times. We had to find a way of tracking the camera while it was moving and eventually realised that the answer was sitting on our desks and in our living rooms: PlayStation Move.

I’ll leave you with this behind the scenes video showing how we turned a plain living room into classic movie scenes using light and creativity.

If any of you use your television sets for anything other than games, you may have already seen this TV ad which will be running across Europe in the run-up to Christmas.

We have moved away from the usual motion gaming ads you are likely to have seen before (all smiles and bright white living rooms) towards a more stylised and epic narrative approach.

We hope you like it and we look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments.

Hi everyone, I’m the European Producer Manager for Medieval Moves.

Ahead of the game’s launch next week, why not get your hands on the awesome Medieval Moves demo, out today on PlayStation Store.

Medieval Moves is an exciting first-person action adventure, brought to you by Zindagi Games and San Diego Studio (the team behind Sports Champions).

In Medieval Moves, the evil wizard Morgrimm has turned you into a skeleton, captured your castle and will transform your entire kingdom into an undead army – unless you stop him.

With the precision of the PlayStation Move motion controller, get ready to swing your sword, fling throwing stars and draw your bow and arrow, switching weapons with ease.

I hope you enjoy the demo. And remember, as hordes of Morgrimm’s bony minions descend upon you, this is just a taster of the frantic combat coming in the full game next week!

Be sure to check out eu.playstation.com to find out more about Medieval Moves.

Australians launched DanceStar Party in style last week with international megastar ‘Cat Deeley’ visiting the country to host a public dance-off to all those who were keen to ‘give it a go’. The charming presenter of ‘So You Think You Can Dance US‘ helped the PlayStation team to celebrate the new ‘party’ game by greeting fans, hosting the event, and judging the final dance off between finalists. People of all ages took part – gamers and punters alike, with the final four contestants battling it out on the actual DanceStar Party game on stage. The lucky winner of the whole event, 14 year old Bianca Calarco, who heard about the competition on Facebook, impressed the judges with her moves, and will jet off to the US in 2012 to watch So You Think You Can Dance live filming. Bianca also gets to take home a year’s supply of PlayStation games. OK, now that got my attention!

“Today’s search for Australia’s PlayStation DanceStar really captured the true spirit of dance, and that is to just get up on your feet and have loads of fun!” Cat Deeley said. “I see so many talented dancers on the show, but the cool thing is you don’t have to be a pro to play DanceStar Party. In true PlayStation style this game brings you experiences that no other game can – it’s got a killer 40 song track list set to original music video clips, and a whopping 160 choreographed dance routines. Plus, it’s even got the ability to create your own moves – so one thing is for sure, you’ll not only get fit, you’ll also never get bored! It’s going to be a massive hit this Christmas,” she said.

Cat continued: “Using the PlayStation Move motion controller, you can virtually step into the shoes of artists like Basement Jaxx, Usher and Willow Smith and become a dance diva in the comfort of your own living room”.

DanceStar Party is out for PS3 now
