Cool Stop-motion Animation with a Blanket and a Few Thousand Coins

Incredible video!

Note: watch until the end for a look behind the scenes at how the video was made. The secret to the accuracy of their coin placement turns out to be a projector shining blue and green squares, which they turn off before taking the frame that goes into the video.

The simulated movement of the coins on a black background look just like an old-school black-and-white video game, at least until they turn into Super Mario Bros. and then faux 3D.
