So what will you do when you’ve got lots of time to spare and thousands of post-it notes right in front of you? Well, YouTube sensation and aspiring filmmaker Zach King a.k.a. FinalCutKing decided to bring the Mario game to life by reportedly using roughly 7,000 Post-it notes or sticky notes to create a stop-motion video animation. The video is quite short, roughly one and a half minutes, although King said that it took a ninja-like patience to post and shoot the stop-motion video.
Judging from the video above, you will see good old Mario traversing through the walls like a pro, jumping over a clock like crazy. And oh there’s Pac-Man too, eating ghosts and unfortunately King’s poster on the wall as well. But since it’s Mario’s show, it took three Tetris blocks to bring Pac-Man down. Anyway, the video is fun and amusing. Perhaps you too can come up with your own stop-video animation as well. Cheers!

Do you find yourself relying on YouTube too much for news? Before you condemn yourself as a self-confessed YouTube junkie, it seems that you’re not the only one addicted to the video-sharing website. According to a report published on Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, more and more viewers are now turning to YouTube for eyewitness videos, especially in times of major events and natural disasters. The report was based on a 15-month research and it revealed that events, such as the Japanese tsunami last year and the turmoil in the Middle East, were among the most-watched videos.
If you’re a movie junkie, then my guess is that you’ve already used IMDb on the web or on your mobile device in the form of apps. Today, the world’s most popular online movie database is announcing that its app on Android and iOS has already reached more than 40 million downloads. IMDb said that the monthly visits over the last 5 months have reached more than 150 million on a monthly basis. But the Amazon-owned behemoth isn’t resting on its laurels yet. That’s because IMDb is also announcing a few updates to its app for iOS and Android.
According to Reuters, the government-operated China Movie Channel will soon launch an online video service similar to Netflix in the mainland sometime this year. The move will reportedly bring huge streams of revenue to Hollywood since the yet-to-be-named service will stream films and TV shows from the motion-picture industry for the majority of subscribers in China. Investors allegedly told Reuters that China’s new video service has already signed a content agreement with Viacom’s Paramount Pictures.
