People are awesome

This is another one of those 'i have no idea how long it would take to do something like this but it must have taken a very long time' type things. Project Game Over is
one of the art projects developed by the French-Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each "pixel" has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds "live".
You can check out all the info and the videos here, but i've also embedded them here for your convenience (i'm right nice like that...)
