Today’s menu has this beautiful video! I am writing this post listening to one of the best soundtrack musics of all times, it comes from the game The Witcher 2: Assasins of Kings, which is a game that can burn a decent time of your life. So I warn you! Do Not Play this game if you are a busy person!

This post though was not written for The Witcher video game, but for the “History of Gaming“.

The following video is a project done by Game Design students in Munich university. And it is pretty good I can say! It captures a part of the essence of video gaming history, so what is a bigger success than that? Congrats guys! Please make more.

Enjoy the video bellow:

History of Gaming from Florian Smolka on Vimeo.

This is a university video-project made by “Game Design”-students from munich.
Done in a single-shot fashion…well almost single shot =)
The film covers different eras of the video-game history.

Took us a week to organise the various props (controllers, monitors. lighting, camera, etc.), two whole days to film and several days of postproduction.
It isn’t perfect, but hopefully fun to watch nevertheless ,)
