What happens when pixels are set free from an old TV? PURE CHAOS!

"Pixels" was created by Patrick Jean and follows a swarm of pixels as they take over New York all while set to some pretty groovy music. The pixels create some iconic videogame characters to help in their pixely destruction of the city to the point the entire planet is consumed.

You know, if you really think about it, everything we see in real life is nothing more than trillions upon trillions of pixels. Snap!

Oh god that ending music is funkeh.

That's also a really awesome video, they did a lot better with the execution of it than I thought they would have.

Very awesome, and agreed with psycho about how I instantly thought about 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Worse than no gameplay in trailers is when companies outsource to make a completely CG trailer.

Incredible! Like a bunch of other people, I initially thought this was a 3D Dot Heroes ad as well.

Couldn't come up with a good compliment myself, so I used the help of today's word of the day.

Interlarding those pixels in real life was awesome!

Hm. That didn't come out any better after all.

This video has shown up on my Facebook feed three times within the last six hours. From people who don't know each other. Generally, this is a good indication of awesomeness.

That was.... O_O

I was just astounded by how well-made that was. Unbelievable.

Btw, the OnemoreProductions logo looks like an Ocean logo, or is it just me? I also spotted the Commodore and Atari logos in certain scenes.
