Wagner James Au sez, "Brett, who recently created the epic 8 mile Minecraft highway, has a new video, and this time, he's hacked Minecraft into a machinima platform to make this incredibly beautiful music video. To make the steady tracking shots, for example, he built a Minecraft rail system made of glass."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    i think that’s the first time i’ve ever seen spam on boingboing :(

    in other news, yep, minecraft is crack.

  • Dabbles

    I prefer this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOpkpW1tDAM
    It makes the game feel much grander and epic.

    • Astragali

      Great link there, Dabbles – that was awesome to watch!

      And, of course, Notch doesn’t need to spend a penny on advertising his game…

  • ZDepthCharge

    It’s a Minecraft remake of Koyaanisqatsi…

    It’s nice. I wish the guy would use the default textures though. The “hi res” texture packs don’t fit the boxy world so well.

    • Anonymous

      The painterly pack, which he is using, is all native resolution textures. They just look a hell of a lot better than Notch’s own programmer art.

    The description on youtube, “…to show what minecraft is before people create and mine. The way the world is before we change it” nailed it for me. BEAUTIFUL. MOVING.

  • Baldhead

    do people actually play the game or just do stuff like this?

  • VICTOR JIMENEZ

    This game is crack cocaine. And is simple as hell!

    #10: That is the game. You mine stuff and you build stuff.

    I love that he had to build an in-game camera track to film this
