8-bit Gaming Fan Crafts Lego Tribute Video

​

Hoping to simultaneously enshrine two beloved childhood forces, YouTube user rymdreglage created "8-bit Trip" -- a stop motion Lego-based ode to 8-bit gaming.

Admittedly, this video probably would have scored a place on gaming sites simply for combining Legos and gaming themes -- we're suckers for that kind of thing -- but some of the camera techniques he employs here are worthy of actual professional music videos.

Remember that White Stripes video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRDi67G0Siw]? The one with the Legos and the band and the lo-fi production values? This video totally trumps that one, at least in its use of hypnotically moving Lego bricks, and you don't even have to look at Jack White's creepy dead eyes.

That was the greatest video Ive seen in a long time.

That one part where it starts playing Pong was mindblowing.

Damn, this must of taken sooooo long, they must have been working on it since the 8-bit era. Pretty damn epic in my opinion.

 

[Doug]

Damn good video!

I'm guessing the bulk of this video is CGI, rather than real lego bricks.

I read somewhere, though I can't remember, that it was over 1000 hours of work.

And on another not, this was absurdly awesome. Great animation work overall.

 

[dalek sec]

Well that was trippy but impressive.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

1500 hours that took.

Iz nice.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

That is worthy of a Platinum Trophy on its own.

 

[Erana]

And people wonder why I like 8-bit stuff...

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

Apparently the pixelated people are made of Lego. It blew my mind.

Absolutely, but it still takes a very long time to do videos in CGI, especially ones that look this real, and are this fast-paced. I was exaggerating of course when I said that they must have been working on this since the 8-bit era, but I think that we can both agree that this video is still extremely epic, and is incredibly professional-looking.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Looks a bit like a 4k intro, except with Legos. Nice, really nice. I like that guy already.

 

[Markgraf]

That was... orgasmic to say the least.

 

[chefassassin2]

I'm actually speechless. Few things actually cause me to stop and just...smile the way this did. Thanks!

 

[person427]

That was the greatest thing I have ever seen. 8-bit games will always be the best games.

 

[Kimberland]

1500 hours that took.
