Intense Pixelated Gaming

Cully's Tetris Video Turns into a Tricky Game of I-Spy

— April 6, 2011 — Tech
Cully is a YouTube user that has created an awesome Tetris video that doubles as a tricky game of i-spy. The video was made just like the original game, but instead of still color blocks, he uses moving images. Cully claims that the Tetris video was really fun to make, but also quite time consuming.

Cully's YouTube site turns his Tetris video into a game of i-spy by asking users to see if they can find items within the moving blocks. It may sound like a simple enough task, but I assure you it's not! Items that can be found include a blue iPhone case, SpongeBob Squarepants and a Nintendo Gamecube controller. Cully also gives some tips on what he has learned while making the video in case others would like to try it out themselves.
Trend Themes
1. Pixelated Gaming - The use of pixelated graphics in video games has become a popular trend, offering a nostalgic gaming experience.
2. Interactive Videos - Creating interactive videos that engage viewers and challenge them to find hidden items within the content has gained traction as an innovative trend.
3. Gamification of Youtube Content - Transforming YouTube videos into interactive games, like Cully's Tetris video, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to drive user engagement and increase video watch time.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - Incorporating pixelated graphics in video games can attract retro gamers seeking a nostalgic gaming experience, unlocking a market niche for game developers.
2. Video Production - The trend of creating interactive videos presents a disruptive opportunity in the video production industry, as it requires new skills and techniques to enhance viewer participation and satisfaction.
3. Online Content Platforms - Integrating gamification elements into online content platforms, like YouTube, has the potential to revolutionize user engagement and monetization strategies for content creators and platform owners alike.
