“8-Bit Trip,” according to its Swedish creators took 1,500 hours to animate. They pay respect to everything from International Karate on a tape drive to Tetris on the NES, with Pong and Pac-Man in between.
The music was written by Daniel Larsson and the animation was done by Tomas Redigh, of the Swedish electronica duo Rymdreglage.

There is guys who get paid to make huge lego sculptures for companies and such, why is it so hard to believe that a guy can get asked and paid to do a 5 minute lego animation montage?
Also, Trent, you prefer claymation? Why would you make a video all about 8-bit animation using clay?
