Michael Birken is the latter. Birken created a stop-motion video to pay homage to his two favorite old school [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set) games. He used 4,800 Post-it notes to re-create the two 8-bit video games, which took him 96 days spread out over 11 months to finalize his project. The video has 5,722 image stills and was created using stop-motion photography. The video showcases extraordinary footage of [Pac-man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light) and Mario in all their gaming splendor. One can only imagine what possessed Birken to invest all his time in creating these awesome Post-it videos. No matter what process he used to create this video, it's a nice homage to classic Nintendo titles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stop-motion Video:** Stop-motion technology can be used in advertising campaigns and social media marketing. - **Retro Gaming:** Retro gaming is becoming more popular in recent years, creating new opportunities for industries. - **Post-it Art:** Post-it art can be used in various forms of advertisement, such as promotional giveaways and art installations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Advertising:** Stop-motion animations and Post-it art can be used in advertising campaigns. - **Gaming:** Retro gaming has a growing market, and endless opportunities for new games and merchandise. - **Office Supplies:** There is room for artistic expression and creativity using Post-it notes and other office supplies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Sticky Note Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-sticky-notes.md) - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Video Game-Themed Pixel Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-art-collection.md) - [Brick Toy Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set.md) - [Video Game-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscreen-mist.md) - [Sticky Notes Holder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-holder.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-kart-hovercraft.md) - [Digital Sticky Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlystack-reminder.md) - [Retro Puzzle Block Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build.md)
