These are screenies from my 100% pixel-art music video I created for the DJ Shadow Screen Test Competition. I spent whole 2 crazy weeks on that video, so if you can please check it out here: http://www.myk31.com/files/this_time_video.avi (15.6 mb) Make sure you have DivX 6 installed (http://www.divx.com) I hope this assload of work was worth it and you'll like the video, and especially, the pixels in it. UPDATE December 2006: The video won the contest and became the official video for the single.

fantastic video!

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 5/8/2007 03:34

thanks dude, hope you enjoy the vid :).

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 5/7/2007 09:09

Congrats on winning.
Off I go to watch it now.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 1/21/2007 21:51

Everybody asks me that, but the answer is No, not at all. Last time I wantched it was like, 2003, and I only made my video in pixels 'cause I knew not a lot of people do it and that might give me advantage in the contest (it did :)).

It's no wonder tho, Junior Senior's vid must be the best pixelart video ever (especially since there are not too many around), so people instantly bring it up as sort of benchmark, if that makes sense :).

YinYang (Level 1 Rookie) @ 1/21/2007 15:11

Haha, reminds me of [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMln54lt9A]this[/URL] video. Did you get inspiration from that. The video is wicked awesome by the way. :O

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 1/14/2007 07:03

Thanks man! It's amazing how months passed since I made it and people still remember it, even a couple new people telling me they like it now and then..

By the way, I haven't posted in a while.. I'm working on some pixel stuff.. Both in mobile games and a little interesting project..

So soon I'll have something to show off at PJ, both pics and videos :D. You heard it first.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 1/14/2007 04:46

I would also like to comment again, to say congratulations on the contest win!!

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/23/2006 08:30

I never got a reply to message alert on this. Yes, the mac version is not showing because some sort of coding glitch is going on (may be my computer, its been acting up

). I am downloading on a PC now.

Monkeyspork (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/20/2006 05:03

Really cool dude, i downloaded the video and it was awesome. made me laugh also :P

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 23:19

Thank you, mr. Vice President :) JK

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 10/19/2006 23:18

A truely superb video, my friend. Best of luck for the competition.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 22:52

Thanks, yeah I dunno where I got that from consistently for two weeks.

I guess the fact that I had a strict deadline helped, cuz when working on my own game for instance I do tend to lack off yknow.

halotank (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 10/19/2006 19:42

Dude, that was so awesome XD
GREAT work.

Jason_c_o (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/19/2006 16:33

Sweet. I'm gonna go watch the video.

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 10/19/2006 15:02

Pretty good. Man you have dedication.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 13:36

Thank you man!

As far as I understand, the entries are not public, at least not until the contest ends, so its hard to say anything bout my chances :D I'm sure I'll have some tough competition tho. We'll see, I'm just crossing my fingers now :D

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) @ 10/19/2006 12:52

Oh my, that was awesome. I haven't seen the other entries but I'd say you definately have a good chance of winning.

I'd love to do pixel art music video myself sometime. Good luck with the competition!

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 12:20

Tell me the truth, did you visit the DivX site I linked to :)?

http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

I believe that should work for ya

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 12:18

Thanks man :D I was fully aware of the Junior Senior video, I kept in mind NOT to make mine a clone of that :D, luckily my style of pixeling (and probably animation too) is different enough :) I also think they used slightly bigger res.

Of course their vid is so much more professional tho, I believe it was done by more than one guy :D

My other fave pixel music vid is Rock N Roll Highschool by Teddybears STHLM, but their video was strictly video game style, so I didn't bother :)

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 10/19/2006 11:58

aww.. poor lil mac user. Put that one in your PC vs Mac commercials

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) @ 10/19/2006 11:33

Wooooah that was awsome dude, totally reminded me of Junior Senior video by Shynola. I especially liked the bit with the dog on the leash, the flting saucer bit, the bit wher the guy has a scrubbing brush in a bath and then brings out a guitar and the birds pooing in sinc. I can see that youve worked hard on this, lets all hope that you win. Good luck.

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 10/19/2006 11:32

Macs don't see .avi files

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 11:20

haha stop playing, I stated clearly that this is for Shadow's contest :D

7sons (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/19/2006 11:07

lol - DJshadow is this you? i was planning to visit 1 of your shows =)

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 10:50

Thanks man! I'm more than sure the compo will be tough, so all I can do is cross my fingers :D

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 10/19/2006 10:41

fully entertaining dude! Good luck with the competition

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 10:24

Sorry, it's me being a retard haha I've edited the piece already.. Jeez I need some rest :D

It's encoded with DivX 6, you can get it here www.divx.com

Hope you'll like it.

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 10:23

Yeah probably, you know to tell the truth, two weeks was hell of a short time, and some more cool ideas went unrealized.

I know there are a lot of imperfections here and there, but I didn't quite have the time to make it perfect like that. I just hope it's fun enough t compensate for those flaws :D

Personally I'm still a bit dizzy from the process and I really can't watch that video myself anymore, probably for a real long time :D

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) @ 10/19/2006 10:20

Grrrr thats so annoying....apparently I am missing some sort of component to play the avi video, plays the sound tho. Was really looking forward to that inall. I love DJ Shadow and from the look of the sample screens abouve it looks like its right up my street. I'll try and get to the bottom of why and then post another comment....looks good from the test screens so far tho.

Toby (Level 3 Stalker) @ 10/19/2006 10:18

I loved the bit where the birds shat to the beat of the song. Made me laugh out loud :p You've pulled together a lot of stuff, and you've obviously worked hard on this. But I felt that some of the scenes could have been shorter and the overall video a tad bit more fast paced.

But you did a fine job anyhow! :)

Pieface (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 10/19/2006 10:17

No... because some peoples Windows Media players don't work...

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 10:05

that's all you had to say?.. I know I can edit... Man please...

And why in the hell would I upload it to YouTube in shitty quality, when I can host it myself, on my own portfolio? I ain't catching your drift. The only benefit from youtube is that you theoretically get lots of hype, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Pieface (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 10/19/2006 09:54

You can edit your piece ya know, also can't you upload it to Youtube or something?

Mykola (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 10/19/2006 09:29

Damn me so dumb I forgot to link to the competition site http://www.djshadowvideo.com
