Living in an East Berlin ‘Plattenbau’ apparently left young design scholar Sergei Hein with a lifelong geometry obsession. This loving video homage to Tetris is also Hein’s creative way of parodying the identical Socialist buildings of Soviet times.
The legendary ‘90s computer game was re-imagined using the proportions of an apartment building across the street from where Hein grew up. In addition to an amazing time-lapse sky sequence, shot with a digital single lens reflex, Hein used After Effects for the humorous 3D animation. The project took about two weeks.
