By now we're sure that you've heard of the "human Tetris" phenomenon in Japan, involving game show contestants that try to fit into holes of moving walls. Swiss artist Guillaume Reymond, however, had a different idea of human Tetris in mind when he directed this video performance.
We love almost anything in stop motion, making this video an instant winner, but the best part about it was the "soundtrack." Using voices for the music and sound effects was a great touch. If you enjoyed this video, you can also out some more like it at NOTsoNOISY's Game Over Project website.
Note: When I showed this video to my mom, her only comment was, "Wow, that guy is terrible at Tetris." And yes, before you ask, she could probably beat you at it.

I like how they authentically screw up. It moves like a real game of tetris.

Heh, I thought the same thing watching it. Except... I suck at tetris too, so I wouldn't have done any better :P
I wonder if this was all planned that way, or if he recorded himself (or someone) playing tetris to the end and used that to plan it.

I think it was intentionally bad so as to provide a natural end to the video. Although it is painful to see someone making amateur mistakes like you see here for someone who has suffered from a full blown case of Tetris fever before.
Awesome work though.

Is that a challenge?
