Music video created with Nintendo DSi

The video to "Brain Games," the third track from Arman Bohn's Atari 2600-inspired "Bits" album, was created using drawings made on a Nintendo DSi. These elements were combined with traditionally-shot footage in After Effects, resulting in a monochrome 1080-line-high heap of pixels.

First thing to come to mind: "Brain games is now...over."

"Arman Bohn's Atari 2600-inspired 'Bits'"

I wonder if it's actually more Gameboy DMG inspired if they're using Nintendo hardware to produce the video ... unless that's fact rather than speculation.

And... wait for it, wait for it...
The DMCA take-down will be coming in 5, 4, 3...

I doubt it - it's from the official channel. For what it's worth, if for whatever stupid reason it does get DMCA'd, talk about epic fail. Seeing this (FREE) video convinced me to buy the (NOT FREE) album from iTunes just now. I wish old media would "get it."

Hah!
Don't put it past idiot lawyers.
It wouldn't be the first time an officially sanctioned video was dmca'd

All of his stuff reminds me of Pinback in a very, very good way.

This video is great, but my favorite video he's done is for "No Escape," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiYf9rq_aWQ which was a lot more Atari inspired, visually. Still brings a little tear to my eye at the end. I'm super excited to see Arman on BB - he deserves to be seen and heard!

Excellent. His website has a couple more videos. "Combat" is really good too. http://www.armanbohn.com/home/?page_id=7

No rights problems here --- I sent this one in to Rob myself!

For those who are curious ... here is a detailed blog post on how I made the video. You can download a frame grab from the master composition and even look through a gallery of almost 300 objects I animated in Flipnote.
