I recently found myself wondering what a video game might look like in the form of a stop motion animation. While a normal person's response to such a question would of course be "who gives a shit?" I possess few of the qualities typically associated with normalcy and was irrevocably compelled to find out. This is the result.

Also, I'd like to think I'm the first person to be inspired by Michel Gondry AND R-Type on the same project.

    It's a 3D computer animation or a real objet animation ? I think this is the first ;)

    Oh my lord! This is just killing everything else I've seen right now! I can't believe how you've timed everything so perfect, and the parallax.. ah man. I don't know how you have done the math on that, but I am stunned. Super inspiring! Can't wait to see more!

    I did a similar thing a couple of months ago,
    it's stop motion, but inspired by fighter-style games rather than 8-bit arcade.

    Alex -

    I think your work is great. If you are interested, it would be cool if you could submit your animation to the Small Press Expo for ANIMATION.
    It is an independent animators showcase in September 2010, in Maryland, USA. I am encouraging the artists of the best animation I see to submit their work to be shown there. It is being curated by friends of mine.

    Here is the link to the Expo website:

    Like everyone else I'd love to know how you did it. I'm guessing you coded it then saved each frame. The music sounds very Atari Lynx like. Lovely project.
