Minecraft has seen many parodies, tributes, time-lapse builds and game-in-a-game creations - today, we break newer ground with this "silent film" adaptation of Minecraft gameplay, by trencej! Featuring high-quality editing and filters, clever dialog and a surprisingly authentic-sounding music accompaniment, this short film is sure to entertain! How do 20's-era film sensibilities and modern sandbox games match up? You'll have to watch and see!
Digital Diamonds is an ongoing look at Minecraft-related videos that have been submitted to the Minecraft forum video section. We'll be selecting memorable videos and those resonating with the community to share with everyone on the front page.

yes, he did those things, and you did not. I've found that 'doing' is usually distinguished from 'not doing' by people noticing what was 'done'.
@trencej
in addition to the music and effects, I also appreciated the narration and the plot. fun and random. thanks for making life more interesting!
Clearly you haven't watch films when they were first introduced. As a film watcher, although I found it boring, it is none to less interesting the way he use silence to make his mark instead of mono-tone people talking into their crappy mics
A novel idea for sure, a rag-timey minecraft video is a great idea, but the execution is nowhere even remotely near the worth of being frontpaged imo.
I were expecting some ditzy Creeper vs Chaplin shenanigans, or something like that, but this is just a completely random new world fraps with a old-timey filter added, which takes exactly no time at all to create. How this can be considered on par with insane constructions and crazy redstone contraptions is completely beyond me. There's so many far greater things I would have shed light on before this.

The most wonderful thing about science is that it doesn't ask for your faith, it asks for your eyes. The universe doesn't care about what you believe.
Just because it's the first (which it probably isn't, for that matter) time it's been done, doesn't per default give it an excuse to be crap and still get celebrated.
Make one with an actual plot, spice it up with funny or interesting situations, create some old-timey suspense, and I'll applaud when it's deserved. Until then, as I said, the idea IS good, but the execution, bad. And no amount of blaming everybody of being envious will change that fact.

Hopefully not for long. I look forward to the return of our beloved matinee hero Stephen Bedrock in his next films Man's Best Friend and The Great Minecart Robbery.
