As millennials who grew up pounding the NES d-pad mature creatively, we see perhaps the most popular video game ever made transformed into forms we could have never imagined while we repeatedly blew into the plastic cartridges and tapped the reset button.
My most recent favorite example is from Andreas Heikaus:
“This video was part of my Bachelor thesis at the University of Applied science and art Hannover. The Super Mario Bros. game, released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, is no longer bound to the television size and gets interactive with a new environment. The emphasis of my thesis is on the matchmoving work. It is the process of matching CG elements into live-action footage.”
