Pixels


With over 1 million views in less than 24 hours, Patrick Jean’s amazing short entitled pixels is a homage to 8-bit gaming systems. The video is kicks off with an old school television that goes rogue, spewing an 8-bit cloud of technicolor amongst various recognizable New York City landmarks. The cloud transforms to take the shape of a few of our favourite vintage video game characters including Space Invaders, Pac Man, Tetris, Donkey Kong and more. While it’s fantastic to see these 8-bit characters in the real world, what is more stunning is the transformation of objects like taxi cabs and fire hydrants into a series of cubes. But enough with the description, check out Jean’s masterpiece for yourself by hitting the play button above.
