Bitmob goes beyond the games in this E3 video

Is E3 just another gaming convention, or is there more to it? While Chloe and I were busy abusing booth babes, Bitmob's UK video team, Collective Visual, was out exploring the show floor and asking attendees what the event means to them. Then again, this might all just be one big effort to impress that cute Nintendo girl...

STOP MAKING ME FEEL FEELINGS!

I'm with Jeff; you guys have made E3 seem like this magical place of dreams and wonders.

And while that MAY be true, you neglect to mention that you want to saw off your feet by the end of the conference. D:

Thanks to E3, sitting has now become a hobby for me.

Oh, and it took me almost five seconds to realize your new FB profile pic is a still from something Prince shot, you pretty bastard.

Haha, I remember when they took it. I was playing Papo & Yo and saw them out of the corner or my eye -- thought it was some random person.

Great video guys. I totally got a motion graphics boner when a name title card briefly tucked behind someone's head. And yes, that Nintendo girl was fairly attractive too, I guess.

I'm fairly certain "graphics boners" were what they were hoping to achieve with this.

I attented E3 for the first time this year, and while at times I was overwhelmed by the intensity of it all (and the amount of standing/walking I had to do!), knowing that I was in the center of the gaming universe was an incredible feeling. The video totally captures that.

Was that woman at the end really named D B Cooper? That's also the name popularly used to refer to a man who hijacked a 727 in the early '70s, stole $200,000, and parachuted into the wilderness, never to be seen again.

Excellent video! The highlight for me was the Capcom Unity guy. Not only did he get to experience the madness that is E3, he also got facetime on Bitmob. You can’t top that.

That was actually skisonic, a fighting-game tournament commentator and podcast host. I was surprised to see him in here.

Yeah, he doesn't really need face time :P

Amazing. I feel very gratified to participate in such an encompassing event, and this video perfectly captures it.

That's such a cute cut at the 1:00 mark!

That cut also evoked strange feelings in me.

Is she chewing gum or cud?

Yeah, it'd be a little cuter without that....

This was freaking fantastic. Amazing job, guys.

It's totally true; the first time I attended E3, I was in complete awe. It really is nice to be surrounded by people with like minds and the same interests. I really appreciate it after a year of working with people who respond to my nerdy comments with, "Hah, that's so cute. You're such a dork!" or "Oh, you like video games? I played Call of Duty once."

You're not a dork. You're a geek.

What a lyrically beautiful work this is. I told Prince and his guys this when I met them, but it bears repeating: They deliever work that's far in excess of anything you'll see on any other gaming site, and most other sites as well.

Great job guys. 

It's nice to see the other side of going to E3. Whenever people in the press talk about the experience going to E3 it's always about how crazy it is and how they would not reccomend anybody to go there.

I really love the feel of this video. the filter is all happy and warm.

WOW! What an amazing video. Makes me sad that I will probably never attend an E3, so I'll just have to settle with PAX. Great job for those behind making it. Just another great reason to be a gamer. Thanks guys!

Hey there, I actually signed up to ask this question:

How did you manage to get the rights to use Another Day by The Album Leaf? Did you write an email to the publisher or contact the band directly?

Thank you I would really appreciate your advice, and it's an amazing video!

Thanks Brendan. We're not getting paid for this or using it to get money at all so we didn't really worry about that kind of stuff.
