Trinity, Help!

Remember the scene in The Matrix where Neo first displays signs of being the One? I think that was one of the first few scenes in movie history that really made good use of bullet-time effects.

Fast forward a few years later, and someone’s made a tribute video. Not content to be mediocre however, it was decided that no fewer than 440 hours of work should be put in to make it. And that LEGO should be used as the building blocks of the recreation. We salute you, LegoMatrix.

As always, for more awesome Internet finds, head on over to the Project Awesome thread in the forums.

Random Mecha Video of the Day/Week: Panic Attack!

What we have here is an awesome short fan video about giant alien robots invading the city of Montevideo located in Uruguay. Rumor has it that the creators of the video have been contracted by Mandate Pictures to give them $1 million to direct a $30 million film on the basis of this video which reportedly only cost $500 to make. Directorial and actor management aside, there is no doubt to the quality of special effects used in the video are nothing short of awesome especially considering the budget and robot action involved. Enjoy!

Super Japanese Mecha Anime Opening Collection

Megas XLR not included.

Because everyone digs giant robots.

Ok, I know I’ve been slow. Not covering Silent Line Portable‘s JP release was already a sign and missing last week’s Random Mecha Video of the day/week was another. So to make it all up for the lack of Random Mecha Videos and content, I present a massive collection of Mecha Anime openings from 1960’s till 2008. This is not my work, but it has been floating around an would at least interest anyone who has played SRW and asked “Where the hell did this robot come from?”. You’ll see it all, from icons like Tetsujin 28 (including the re-makes and re-imaginations), Mazinger-Z, various Macross and Gundam titles, to obscure super-robot titles such as Chogattai Majutsu Robo Gingaizer (Super Combining Magical Power Robo Gingaizer). It’s 7-8 hours of awesomeness and mecha history. The download links after the jump.

Random Mecha Video(s): Gunhed and J-Phoenix

Okay, to make up for being half-assed in posting front page content I’m posting 2 videos for this weeks Random Mecha Video(s). This first one is from a live action movie Gunhed released during the 1980s, and it certainly looks something out of the set of Aliens. While the mech itself spends much of its time rolling, its good to see it actually blow stuff up. Second random mecha video after the jump.

Random Mecha Video of the Day: Aerosmith’s Fly Away From Here

An old music video by rock band Aerosmith back in 2001 from the album “Just Push Play” which includes another more famous hit called “Jaded”. You’ll see standard stuff form music videos in addition to some mech action between two giant robots, which is cool except I don’t know if there’s supposed to be a story in the video or something.
