I got to be in the Nintendo Wii U Film Challenge!! :D

[Platinumfungi]

I was lucky enough to be part of the Nintendo Wii U Ten Day Film Challenge!!



A few weeks ago, Nintendo invited Youtube group "mikeNgary" , a local group that I create props and costumes for, to be one of only 50 teams in the world to participate in a 10 day video challenge. They sent us a FREE Wii U and games which we then had to play and find inspiration from to create a short video. Along with Nintendo first party games, they sent us ZombiU...so we merged the game concepts together and came up with this:

Here's the video link: Nintendo Vs. Zombies: 28 Bits Later -



Especially considering the tight deadline, and the fact that it occurred during a national holiday weekend, I think it turned out very well. A lot of the props and costumes are things I created. I’ll be posting photos and some DIY guides for them on my site http://www.platinumfungi.com so stayed tuned.

We’re hoping to reach 10,000 views by Dec. 14th in order to advance to the next round of the challenge, so any sharing of the video you can do is greatly appreciated!



This whole thing was a blast, and as a life long Nintendo fan, a true honor. It would be amazing to get to go to Round 2!!

If you're ready for a CHALLENGE, see if you can spot all the Easter Eggs to answer the following questions:

- What two Nintendo products can you find that were only released in Japan?
- What two Nintendo magazines can be seen?
- What console has been given an aftermarket paint job?
- Where do you see a reflection of a N64?
- What SNES cart is in the front of the row of SNES games on the entertainment center?
- What complete in box video game (not a Wii U game) can you see?
- What is the Gamecube sitting on?
- Where is the Power Glove?

Now if you think YOU'RE REALLY GOOD, try these:

- What game is in the N64?
- Look for a visual clue to determine which character in the video is married in real life. Who is it?
- R.O.B. the robot is hiding... Look closely to get just a glimpse of him...Where is he?
- What non Nintendo prop is seen in the background of this video that was also seen in another mikeNgary video? Hint - it's purple.
- Finally, if you're a super sleuth with eagle eyes, what game is in the SNES?

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for looking

Awesome, thank you guys! We just made it on the front page of Hackaday tonight, so that should be a huge boost to our views too.

Thank you to everyone who watches and shares this around!! We really appreciate it

I enjoyed watching WaLuigi getting eaten by zombies. That was satisfying. Your guys' Metroid short film was wild. You deserved this opportunity. Congrats, good luck, and great job!
