Notice the verite camera moves and the understated soundtrack.

So cool! I always wondered where PacMan went.
Technically they're voxels though... :)
Thanks for posting that. It was wonderful!! :-)
Pretty amazing job on that film. I would like to see the storyboards on that one.
You know that you're getting old when:
things you remember from your youth come back in style again.
The Tetris pieces on the buildings...that's not too far from the drifting-off-to-sleep visions I had of Tetris at the height of my addiction back in the day!
Genius video!
Actually, I just saw a video I think you might find lovely: a remote controlled airship that literally seems to swim through the air.

My favorite is: Trampoline Front Flip Full Court Shot
butt...I like Pixels too! I saw this clip earlier, it' like "District 9" in Lego version!
I absolutely love this! Someone went to a lot of trouble to create this Pixelgeddon!
