LEGO - 8-bit trip

[@monsterjj9917]

I find it amazing how despite it being 2009 it was still in 1080p and in a fairly high bitrate. This video amazed me as a child and blew me away now as im nearly 25

[@ApocDevTeam]

I could be wrong but I think KZbin saves the original upload forever, so it's possible they upped the bitrate and/or resolution at a later date. I honestly can't remember if this was given 1080p originally.

[@pummeluff230]

I also double it. If this is an upscale, it is a very clean one.

[@pummeluff230]

*doubt

[@beeble2003]

@@ApocDevTeam It's stopmotion, so it will have been filmed as a sequence of stills that were then put together into a video, so you don't need a high-resolution, high-frame-rate video camera. Rather, the resolution comes from a stills camera and the frame rate is governed by the power of the computer that was used for editing. 1080p is only two megapixels, and mid-range DSLRs were already at 15 megapixels by 2009.

[@ApocDevTeam]

@@beeble2003 This isn't about that, this is about the resolution and quality that KZbin uses on their videos after uploading. Back in the early days of KZbin there was no such thing as 1080p video, even if you uploaded it at 1080p it would get reduced automatically to a lower resolution. KZbin also used to have a much worse bitrate for all videos. That's why all those old videos are low resolution and low quality. However I remember reading somewhere that KZbin can retroactively increase the quality, more closely resembling the original upload. Back in the day they couldn't do that since KZbin was a small site and didn't have the type of resources that they have now.

[@geoffshaw2775]

I don't know why KZbin put this on my feed after 15 years. But thank you for the nostalgia trip. This is one of the first KZbin videos I remember watching as a kid.

[@Amoeba26]

I first saw this in late 2009. I was a young kid at the time, so I had an interest in Lego's. My brother found this and it was almost like seeing a God animate. I'm much older than I was then, and I have an interest in music. To this day this magnificent video continues to astonish me and I am truly thankful for it.

Now nothing feels special anymore because every single niche thing can be oversaturated and can easily be quite draining. Furthermore, things move so quickly it's literally impossible for anyone to keep up with anything because if you follow a meme, you've most likely missed 10 others so I've stopped doing that for years. The idea of the Icon is dead.

I found a book at the library about brickfilms and picked it up because I used to be obsessed with LEGO. There was an entire section dedicated to this video, and I looked it up again as soon as I got home. Kind of nostalgic, really happy I found this again.
