Nice concept! I also had the idea of doing an 8-bit video, but thought it would be too much work to make it look very nice. I never thought of tracing though! The only problem with the vid (I think) is that it didn't have much of a story/point, but it sure is fun to watch!
Oh yeah (small nitpick), there was that part where there was no black outlines - was that on purpose or did you forget that?
Nice job and keep coming up with good concepts as that is what I really like about your videos! (that is why your videos stand out)

Right, I have finally time to comment on videos, and I'm sorry I didn't get to this sooner.
I was disappointed by this. I'm not gonna lie. After daydream, how could I not be? It was such a milestone in creativity and... Yeah, you've heard me rant about that one enough. Basically, when this video kicked in, I was like, "Oh man, awesome concept... This is ZS alright.". I was getting so excited just thinking about the places your 8-bit concept was gonna take in the next 3 minutes. And then, where did we go? Not very far.
I was debating this with CrackTheSkies the other day, and his opinion was, in a nutshell, all the effort you put into doing this frame-by-frame and the deadline you had for Masters excuses you from fully developing your concept. I couldn't disagree more. I would go so far as to say, what's the point of spending so much time on a crazy visual concept if you're not gonna make sure you make the most of it? It's only a one time thing. It's not like you can make the sequel now if you feel like it. This is it. And what 8-bit references did we get? RPG attack thing, high scores board... I think that's it. I mean, what's the point of watching them play Olympics in 8-bit? Can we watch them in thermal vision too? How about X-ray? I just don't see the point. Then again, maybe I'm just missing the reference.
Don't get me wrong, this is still a good video. But coming from you, I can't help but expect awesome

Thanks for the honest opinion. Quite frankly, you summed up the frustration I was feeling in about the last 2 weeks while working on this thing, and I'm glad somebody picked up on thatGreggus1 wrote:Right, I have finally time to comment on videos, and I'm sorry I didn't get to this sooner.
