Games are entertaining, there's no doubt about that. But games can also make you think about greater aspects of life. I've already written quite a few articles on what games can teach us, where games can help society and what games mean to me but in a short 8-bit film by pipokaVFX (from an original comic by Shen) life is summed up pretty succinctly. Enjoy!
Video Game Hyperlapse
Time lapses photography has been around for ages, think back to all those nature documentaries of your youth when David Attenborough would be talking about plants growing over many months and you'd see a long process of growth shown in a few minutes. Well Hyperlapse is an exposure technique in time-lapse photography, in which the position of the camera is being changed between each exposure in order to create a tracking shot in timelapse sequences.
pipokaVFX has created a brilliant computer game Hyperlapse using footage from a wide variety of game including Alan Wake, Bioshock Infinite, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and many others. Have a look as it is a thing of beauty. The patience required to make this movie must have been monumental, I would have glitched it myself as heck I'm just not that patient!
