Awesome: “8-Bit Trip” Stop Motion Lego Video

Over 1500 hours of video and photography went into this music video for rockin’ Swedish duo, Rymdreglage. Not sure how many Lego pieces. Either way, this is fantastically impressive.

Be sure to check out the band’s site. They’ve got lots of MP3s to download and some seriously oddball eye-candy. (via Laughing Squid)

Star Wars: In Concert “Stay On Key! … Stay On Key!!!”

starwarsinconcert

Does Star Wars meets Pink Floyd Laserium meets a pre-talkies movie experience sound good? Damn right it does.

Star Wars: In Concert combines a live symphony and chorus with specially-edited video montages from all six films, and some bitchin’ lighting for a serious evening of SW geekery. Tickets go on sale August 1 for Sacramento, San Jose, LA, and beyond.

The gang at Mekanism just launched the website with an interface based on the galactic-sized LED screen from the event. (Nice work, Paulo)

BONUS: Darth Symphony

A ‘lil something to get you in the mood from Lego Star Wars.

Is that a Lego Jack White? Will there be a Lego Lars Umlaut?

We do know there’ll be kid-friendly tunes like Blur’s “Song 2” and the Carl Douglas classic “Kung Fu Fighting” (not the one covered by Cee-Lo for Kung Fu Panda … Thank the ‘Lo).  Full story here.
