Video: This Stop Motion Mega Man Video is a Bit Awesome

Over 10,000 photos used

As regular readers will know, we like drawing attention to some of the best and most interesting examples of gaming culture, where fans go to extraordinary lengths to simply produce something fantastic for others to enjoy. One YouTube creator we've featured is FinalCutKing, a channel that gave us the rather brilliant Post-It Note Mario, in which 7000 of the sticky stationary squares were used to reproduce an impressive animation.

That was neat, but the latest Mega Man video certainly gives it a run for its money. Using 1000 small tiles, plenty of glue and over 10,000 photos, we have a seriously impressive stop-motion animation featuring the iconic Capcom mascot.

Check it out below and let us know what you think.

The video kind of fails...... They are using music from Megaman X1, Storm Eagle's Theme...... This was one of my favorite levels from thant game

But he should have used music from the original Megaman series.

Just a friendly reminder that the 3DS has 3D stop motion animation capabilities included and thus far I've animated:
-Various transformer transformations.
-Jotaro throwing away Kyubey.
-Jotaro ko-ing a Xenomorph.
-The Jotaro vs Dio Steamroller scene… with Hellsing characters.
…
…… I really wish there was an easy built-in way to share these videos online
