FreddieW is back and this time he’s brought us a super cool look at what Super Mario would play like if it were a 3D first-person perspective game. Besides the slick animations, what makes this video even more spectacular is that it offers you two perspectives at once; you can follow Mario’s journey through World 1-1 in the reimagined first-person mode and in the top-left corner you can watch the plumber do it the old fashioned way. Neat-o.

Flower Warfare
From the dude who brought us “Light Warfare” using the awesome technique of light painting comes “Flower Warfare.” Creator Freddie Wong has put together another masterpiece with weapons at the forefront; only this time they don’t shoot light, they spray their enemies with–you guessed it–flower power! The nod to the Internet’s latest meme in the final frame is perfect!
“Light Warfare” paints a futuristic action genre through the process of light painting
Ho-ly crap. This is awesome. One Freddie Wong has created a masterpiece with “Light Warfare”, a short film of sorts that revels in the photography technique known as light painting. Wong explains:
The idea behind light painting is that if you open the shutter, you can draw lines by moving the flashlight around in front of the lens. So hold the shutter open, get in front, and try drawing something in the air. If you have a camera flash, you can have someone stand in place, and flash them. Then have them hold still and draw around them. Experiment!
Basically light painting can take place when you play around with slow shutter speeds captured in a dark environment as you move a camera around a light source. You might be thinking to yourself, “Haven’t I seen something like this before?” The answer is yes; light painting is also known as “light graffiti” and you can refer back to this post to jumpstart your memory. What makes this video so spectacular is that Wong takes things to a whole ‘nother level by grouping a bunch of stills together and making a video out of them in a process known as stop motion. If any of this intrigues you, head over to Wong’s blog where you’ll find a tutorial for light painting; also peek after the break for a behind-the-scenes look at how “Light Warfare” was made.
