Cup Tetris!


Cup Tetris from Daniel Ghan on Vimeo.

At last, the long-awaited Tetris video is here! We filmed it over 3 days (which is why it jumps a couple times). I wrote the music myself (well, arranged it; the tune is the famous Tetris music everyone knows) just for this video using some old software from an old computer. The software allowed me to adjust the tempo, so when we sped the game up on the 3rd day because we were getting tired of taking pictures and just needed to make the player lose, I did a few calculations and set it so the change in the music's timbre and tempo coincided with the speed-up of the game. The sound effects are system sounds from Windows 95. This video was done entirely with Windows Movie-Maker, Midisoft Recording Session (to write the music), and Windows Sound Recorder (to record the music as a last resort to convert it from .mid to .wav).
