Pixels & Bricks: Post-It Donkey Kong

This real world reenactment of Donkey Kong isn't takes some liberties with the source material, but it's still rad! Gamil Design filmed this stop-motion short at Kirby Derby -- an anything goes (so long as it's safe/appropriate) parade in Raleigh, North Carolina's Kirby St. -- using a pile of post-it notes to create the sprites.

The group says it created the 8’ tall, 12’ wide Donkey Kong at its office when the idea struck: "Once we took it outside and admired our work ... 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."

You can watch a high resolution version of the video on the company's MobileMe Gallery.
