Looking for two fairly recent animated short vids.

March 17, 2012 8:21 PM

I've looked but not found a couple of fairly recently (6 months max I think) linked animated videos, the 1st featuring a chase scene, the person being chased is on a motorcycle, ends up the bike smacking into parked cop cars; the 2nd vid shows real world city being taken over by 8bit animation, which starts by coming out of a tv (if I recall correctly.)

I've got a buddy who plays video games a lot, thought to send him that link posted on the blue yesterday (The Chase) and then thought to add those two links also but haven't been able to find either one. Any help appreciated.

The 8-bit invasion is likely Pixels (previously), or Royksopp's Happy Up Here.

Yes, that's one of the vids I was looking for, Pixels -- thx Proniac.

I couldn't find the mefi post, but I think this is the other thing you're looking for.

And here's the mefi version. I hope this is it, or I'll just look dumb.

Yep, you've got it, thank you!

And then there's this. Roughly the same.

Roughly the same.

I have no idea how you could watch the previous link, then the one you posted, and come to the conclusion that they are roughly the same. Exactly the same is how I would have put it. If there are any differences at all, I sure don't see them.
