The whole idea in this neverending fight between analogue and digital is that “Creativity is inside of us, not on the screen” and there are many ways to express yourself.

Tools: pencils, scalpels, hot glue and cardboard. For the transformation into Digital a Nikon D50, Photoshop and Flash, Mac & PC.

    My sister was making some of the objects for the original film “King Size”, it was a part of the school project in Film Academy in Łódź :)
    Of course it was made in large scale.

    She’s name is Asia, check out her site :) http://www.asiakepka.com

    Very nice job Grzesiek.

    AWESOME! What an inspiration — both the game and the uTube video on production. The concept and variety of multimedia and classic puzzle games is ingenious! I’ve passed along the link to several of my dedicated game creation and Flash students. We’ll see how many votes we can garner for your game.

    Congrats, too, for the mention on Adobe’s “Edge” newsletter. Otherwise, we’d never have seen your work!

    Gostei muito do Pencil Rebel, inclusive do vídeo, o qual mostra como ele foi desenvolvido. Eu amo esses tipos de joguinhos e o seu é bem criativo. Parabéns. Lina – from São Paulo – Brasil.

    I like much. Congratulations.

    Hey mate, absolutely fantastic work, I have spent the last 30 minutes on the Rebel game, what a great time to spend on a Sunday afternoon. Great graphics, amazing pieces of work you have managed to reate. I know that sound very cliche, as I see, you have many other comments, but honestly: GREAT +, impressive.

    Thanks for making my day so great!

    I loved this game too. Especially the combination of analog and dig you made-
    That’s incredible.
    But how is this in anyway non-linear?
