Donkey Kong comes alive!

This post was written by aly Date June 26, 2009

Created in our own offices at Designbox with help from staff and friends, came an 8 foot tall Donkey Kong…

(We’d love it f you gave it a rating or comment on youtube. Click on the youtube logo to watch it there and then subscribe or log in. Thanks!)

Once we took it outside and admired our work from the lovely Humble Pie, we noticed that the railings of our next door building looked just like a Donkey Kong set. Naturally we had to spend the whole next day creating all the characters for our first-ever stop motion animation movie.

Here it is in the MEDIUM REZ AT VIMEO:

Special thanks to the staff at Gamil Design, Gamila Company, Fat Cat Strategies, and ThirdParty Labs.

Jonathan Cohen (Meres One) has taken a 5-story, dilapidated factory building in Long Island City, NY and is converting it into a Graffiti Museum called 5 Pointz. All works on the outside of the building are curated by Cohen, and he plans to raise funds to create a non-profit organization to give lessons at “The Institute of Higher Burnin’.”

Wouldn’t it be awesome if your plant could tell you if it were thirsty, or drowning? With this little DIY Plant Twitter Kit from botanicals, you can give your plants a voice through their own personal twitter account! Check out @pothos on twitter!
