Aug 24 20091,500 Hours Of LEGO Photography In 3:49
This is a short video entitled 8-Bit Trip that is a tribute to 8-bit video games made entirely out of LEGO blocks. Personally, I would have gone with a 16-Bit Trip, but I like good visuals (one time I saw the face of Loki from Super Ghouls n' Ghosts come out of a brick wall and try to lick me). A brief explanation of the video:
1500 hours of moving legobricks and take photos of them.
You'd think think with 1,500 hours to kill the maker could have afforded a couple hours of grammar lessons. I jest. But seriously: He who casts the first stone should always aim for the face.
Thanks to Aisha, matt, Towhee Monster and deebo, who went on a 64-bit trip and nearly lost their minds.

I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.

Ain't that one hell of a magic trick. That is one of the craziest lego videos I've seen.
The part with the guys laughing and pushing each other looks way too smooth though. I might have to pull a Daisy and say that was photoshopped. But if it wasn't that is pretty awesome.

Having made one stop-motion film in my life, I have nothing but respect for the people who had the patience to do this. Bravo! Kudos also to blowing on the Nintendo cartridge.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max throws a crystal into the lake in a train set and ends up ruining the house.

Pretty sick video, love the music! Would have liked to have seen some Marble Madness action though. I loved the 3-D Tetris action.

This..... this is AWESOME
Even if it IS a shoop, that would still have taken a hella long time.
34. PixelJunkette - August 29, 2009 1:15 AM
Am I the only 20-some year old chick out there that gets all hot and bothered watching stop-motion Lego goodness? If only there would have been a Princess Tomato reference . . . might have had a case of uncontrollable multiple orgasms! Completely sextastic!
