Antichamber Design

Nick Campbell of DK Chicago’s got a great blog going on over at Greyscalegorilla, and it seems to be picking up a bit of steam and exposure lately, possibly due in part to the infectiously addictive 5-second project competitions he holds regularly. The challenge? Create a 5-second animation around a given theme. This time around it was Old Video Games, and there were a ton of sumbissions. I imagined there’d be a lot of them based on machinima of 8-bit games and Mario running around. So I thought I’d do a 180 and try something on the other end of the spectrum. Enjoy..and, wish me luck!
