See your favorite movies rendered into big, blocky shapes, with electronic meeps and beeps and computerized voices.-- oatcake, May 16 2003 Junior Senior Game http://www.juniorsenior.dk/arcade.htm#Play the game... [MikeOliver, Oct 05 2004] Star Wars in Ascii http://www.asciimation.co.nz/Is this getting close to your idea?

I think I know what you mean and like the idea very much
may I suggest pulp fiction?-- po, May 16 2003 It is rather vague, isn't it? Basically I imagined it as something akin to Atari 800 or DOS VGA graphics. Anyone remember Commander Keen?-- oatcake, May 16 2003 Played Commander Keen to death. I suppose for this idea to work you'd need a film with a lot of instantly recognisable shots. 2001 might be a good place to start.-- my face your, May 16 2003 Oh, crap. I accidently deleted your comment, po. Blah.
//not the classic film rendered in cgi then? - po//
No, CGI is fun but overdone. I'm thinking more pixel-art style.-- oatcake, May 16 2003 I can't offer block animation but I can offer Star Wars using Ascii animation (asciimation). This is an old art of using an Acii file, complete with cursor control characters, on a terminal emulator. The Star Wars film is probably the pinnacle of the art.
However who could forget "Bambi meets Godzilla", an older classic short Ascii movie?-- Aristotle, May 16 2003 Yes, sort of like ASCII animation...I guess it's kind of baked. Maybe these movies could be watched on Gameboys, though I don't think Gameboys are capable of speech.-- oatcake, May 16 2003 Ascii is indeed 8-bit, but without sound, excepting for bleeps.-- Aristotle, May 16 2003 Ari, - whoever? - could forget...
you online? I promised to give you a stern look <g>-- po, May 16 2003 Guilty as charged. I will demur.-- Aristotle, May 16 2003 In many cases this would require multiplying by 4.
"CGI is fun but overdone" Huh? They're just getting warmed up. It's yet in it's infancy.-- bristolz, May 16 2003 random, halfbakery
