Everyone’s favorite Soviet block video game has been brought to life using a roomful of people, taking on the roll of the various colored geometric shapes from the game.
The stop-motion video by Swiss artist Guillaume Reymond of NotSoNoisy creative agency is the latest in his series of video game inspired clips, which first gained popularity with Human Space Invaders and Human Pong, and more recently, Human Pole Position.
Human Tetris was recorded during the Urbaines Festival at the Palais de Rumine in Lausanne, Switzerland. The video shoot took 88 people wearing bright Tetris colored T-shirts, and 880 carefully choreographed still images in order to complete the effect. Add one goofy human-generated audio track, and there you have it.
Too bad I just ran out of quarters.

Really funny: CONGRATULATIONS!
i love the part when the “screen” clears. Very clever!
Very interesting. Love the Russian anthem!
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s watching other people play video games. That was entertaining to watch, though!
That was cool, whoever’s playing sucks at Tetris though.
Haha, very true Rageaholic, but I believe, had he been “good” at it, the movie could have been about 10 minutes long
The “pam-pa-pa-pam” was a bit annoying, though … I prefer the real tetris sound any day
oh my god, i love it. i was smiling through the whole video, very clever, indeed.
love the details, too
lol thats weird:)
Very clever. Well done to all involved.
they messed up in a few parts.
when a line clears, the lines above don’t lose their position and drop until they hit another block. they stay in the line they belonged to and move down.
other than that, this was awesome
Dude whoever was playing sucked at tetris they only got like 4 lines, i mean come on a blind person could do better than that
Leave it to those Swiss . . . inspired by those erstwhile Soviets . . .
One of the best video’s I’ve seen in a long time.
Reminds of the sex-tetris game with different positions
I guess I’m glad I never saw that one.
Heh, a brilliant undertaking, and it really paid off.
The person who choreographed this needs some practice though. Maybe I should lend him my old game-boy. ^^;
