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
I could be wrong but I think UA-cam 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.
@@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.
@@beeble2003 This isn't about that, this is about the resolution and quality that UA-cam uses on their videos after uploading. Back in the early days of UA-cam there was no such thing as 1080p video, even if you uploaded it at 1080p it would get reduced automatically to a lower resolution. UA-cam 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 UA-cam can retroactively increase the quality, more closely resembling the original upload. Back in the day they couldn't do that since UA-cam was a small site and didn't have the type of resources that they have now.
I don't know why UA-cam put this on my feed after 15 years. But thank you for the nostalgia trip. This is one of the first UA-cam videos I remember watching as a kid.
Very few of those "Hey did you know ________, hah I bet you feel old now!" statements work on me. But his video being almost 15 years old... that did it. That finally did it. It feels like yesterday.
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.
This is very, very impressive animation, especially with such smooth camera movements and consistent smoothness. And if you guys didn't notice, even the black&white pixelated videos in this were also made in Lego.
And here I am, 12 years later, still having my mind blown by this video far more than any modern music video has ever done. Simply astounding, I'm in awe.
I watched this video when I was 8 years old, almost 10 years ago. This video back then was simply mind-blowing to me. Today I saw a lego build and was reminded of this video. I decided to look for it and found it in de archival corners of UA-cam. Simply amazing.
1:57 This is probably the most breathtaking masterpiece made out of lego. That recorded video in real life and then converted into the lego pixelated stop motion!
i had this saved on my old channel's favorites playlist when i was a kid. still pretty mindblowing to see even after losing track of it for a while and the music still sounds amazing.
14 Million. 5 Years and this video still looks fresh, smooth and a very visual eye candy. I'd like to thank you guys for dedicating the time, sharing, and crafting this awesome mind-bending stop-motion masterpiece. Until this day, it still is thought provoking on how creative you can be with this wonderful animation technique. You guys rock!
Man! I remember finding this and being so amazed I jumped out of my chair to show my father. That seems so long ago. 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.
This is, was, and always will be the most awesome and memorable UA-cam video I have ever watched. Seriously, I thought this was the best thing ever when I was a kid. It's so well made.
Rose tinted glasses. Only the best content makes it through the passing of time. Videos of this quality are coming out every day. We just haven’t gotten a chance to see them until years later when the best of the best are filtered out from the rest.
Rymdreglage is so big now these days. I live and grew up just a few kilometers from these guys hometown, I think they're still around here on "Slätta". Älskar er musik, har gjort det i väldigt många år nu... Mycket kärlek och respekt till er boys. Much love from Kvänum
I haven't seen the video for probably 14 years. But when I heard the melody, memories suddenly came flooding back and all the sequences seemed incredibly familiar to me. Thank you for this virtual homecoming
This is, no question, the single best LEGO animation I have ever seen. How in the ever living craptoid did you get this looking THIS SMOOTH? I'm astonished!
rediscovering this gem at 12:15 AM is one of the best experiences to have, it was one of my first inspirations to get into animation and I'm working on a really big project, all down the line due to this!!!
Just came accross thes vids, damn I didn't want to miss them lol! Also this C64 and International Karate logo, datasette, etc in was awesome. I'm 43 and should have known it 15 years ago... DAMN lol
This is one of the first UA-cam videos I remember finding myself, forgetting what it was called for years, then coming back and being and finally understanding what these absolutely mad lads did to pull this off. Amazing stuff.
It's been ten years. I still don't know what is going on, who made this, how they made it, or what it's for. This is also the first video I can remember ever watching on the internet. Also, after TEN YEARS that friggin piece of dust on the 8 at 1:04 STILL BUGS ME
Just went on one of my VERY old playlist, and remember seeing this on the front page and liking it. Probably one of the first few videos I watched back on UA-cam LOL
thats 90,000 minutes. anyway, description doesnt say that. anymore at least. i dont think this took that long. 60 days no sleep? itd be like 90 days or 120 days at least. i refuse to believe he put that much work into it. not that it wouldnt be worth the $10k-20k he made off it.

Had to revisit this classic after Part 2 dropped. What an incredible blast from the past.
took me a couple hours to find the video but i’m back again after 11 years 😌

0:10 that other video is good but nothing beats the 8 bit trip :P
I have never tried an 8-bit-trip..but I tried a 7-bit-trip once..not to be recommended..Haha!:)
Glad this classic is still getting live from the algorithm.

***** Not a video effect, that's still lego :D
***** You´re kidding me... ,-) Looks like a "distort the video in 25x25 pixel" or so effect. Anyway, great video and music!
This is all Lego, nine of it is cgi. I've done it before, but I scrapped the vid, it was crap anyways.
Best music in 2018 plus. It feels great to hear this music

The quality of this video from 2009 still holds up today. It looks like it was shot in 2013, but I doubt it would have been as legendary as it is now.
The single most impressive part about this was rotating a 3D cube, on a 2D plane, while maintaining perfect perspective throughout, WITH LEGO.
i love how much this feels like a demo. it really speaks that language of "bump to this cool music while we show off what we can do!"
The fact that this was 1080p in 2009 is insane. That technology back then was very rare and quite expensive to produce
1080p still image cameras weren't so high tech then, and this video is mostly stitched still frames

It’s a shame this video was released so early, it doesn’t have nearly as many views as it deserves.

You should travel back in time to 1984 and sell this to Nintendo as an NES commercial.
We had 1080p back then?
It was in the start up back then
1080p was released in the early 2000's.
Rymdreglage huh, i guess i never thought much about resolutions when i was 11... thats actually pretty cool.
