Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Freddie Wong Changes Views with This First-Person Mario Video

— February 22, 2013 — Tech
Freddie Wong immerses the audience into that lovable plumber's life in this Mario first-person re-imagination.

The video gives the viewer an idea of what it would be like if Super Mario Bros. 3 had been a first-person video game, rather than the classic side-scroller. Through this incredibly well done video sequence, you see what Mario sees as he defeats the final two levels of the highly successful game.

Freddie's first-person Mario animation is exacted with exceptional quality. He effectively captures the movements and interactions of the levels and really creates the feeling that the viewer is part of the game. I also enjoyed how he included the 2-D map in the corner.

Freddie is somewhat of a legend when it comes to filmmaking, video games and YouTube success and this recent video is no exception.
Trend Themes
1. First-person Gaming - Creating first-person video game experiences can provide a new perspective on familiar games, like Freddie Wong's reimagining of Super Mario Bros.
2. Immersive Filmmaking - Using first-person perspective in filmmaking can engage viewers and make them feel part of the story, as seen in Freddie Wong's Mario animation.
3. Youtube Filmmaking - YouTube success can be achieved by creating innovative and high-quality videos, such as Freddie Wong's iconic perspective shift videos.
Industry Implications
1. Video Game Development - Integrating first-person gameplay mechanics into classic games can create new and engaging experiences for players.
2. Film and Entertainment - Exploring immersive filmmaking techniques, like first-person perspective, can captivate audiences and differentiate content.
3. Digital Media and Online Platforms - Harnessing the power of YouTube and online video platforms can lead to success for filmmakers and content creators.
