FIVE SECOND RULES: 100 TINY ART/GLITCH VIDEOS ON ‘OLD VIDEO GAMES’

Greyscalegorilla’s current “Five Second Project” — in which animators and motion designers are given a couple weeks to create a five second video — is on a theme close to our hearts: “old video games.” The entries, which at last count number up to 100, are collected in this Vimeo channel.

A hundred videos might seem like a lot to go through, but at five seconds each it should take no time at all. If that’s still too ADD for you: a pair of our personal favourites. Above, William J. Meyer’s slightly-longer-than-five-seconds take lends Donkey Kong a helpful hand, and below, Joe Clay’s Super Mario Bros. video also takes a turn for the 3D, but in a crazy glitch-out and “blow the cart” kind of way.

The above is especially enjoyable as a fan of the glitched-out aesthetic, which can also be seen in Brad Chmielewski Old Video Games Data Mosh and Sean McDonald’s wonderfully teasing Get Ready to Play… the Greatest Game Ever.
