Space Invaders video is too human

The masterwork of Guillaume Reymond is a result of 4 hours of moving 67 participants around and capturing 390 images to create a 3-minute video that one has to see to believe. We are dumbfounded, can there be anything weirder?
Oh yeah, there's human Pong.
Behold! Booyakasha!

Wow. That took a lot of time, coordination, and people.
If I knew enough people who wanted to spend hours chaning seats, I would do this. Except, I would do Tetris.

That gamevideos.com video thingee never works for me. Yes, I have flash. This applet just never works.

And they said innovation in gaming was dead? How can we get this on the Wii?

Wow, just the amount of effort taken is pretty amazing.

That is one of the most inspired things I've ever seen.

Wow, that's actually quite amazing. There's only one thing I can imagine adding to that performance -- a row of people seated at a bottom corner, each person holding up a cardboard square with a number on it used to display score (and perhaps remaining ships). I also sort of wished they let it "play" to the last super speedy ship, but whatever. Very very cool :)

Kinda cool. Far far far too long though.

Great Video!! What cheat code where they using. Galaga was the first double shot video game and I think he may have died too many time too.

I have to give props to the extras and their patience to sit in a different seat for every frame.
trent @ Jul 18th 2006 5:12PM

sqweek @ Jul 24th 2006 8:50PM
Game videos 's not working here either... I get audio but no video (firefox 1.5.0.4 under linux, flash 7 afaik)

I love that the small, personal movements (arm crossing, position shifting) of the pixelppl have been captured. It's kind of fun to spot who was the most restless during this long photography session.
