This is awesome. Brisbane band Hey Geronimo has recreated a heap of classic iOS games for the video clip to their single Why Don’t We Do Something? It looks amazing. Watch:
Included in the iOS gaming mashup is Fruit Ninja, Flight Control, Plants vs Zombies, Cut the Rope and the obligatory Angry Birds. According to a story on Fairfax, the video cost the band about $500 to make. The recreations occasionally looked so lifelike the band felt the need to include behind the scenes footage to show that it was all being recreated in real life.
I just hope the team at Firemint is paying attention – the next update is going to include shooting cats, right?

Great video clips, crappy songs, but apparently no-one cares!

I genuinely don’t think OK Go’s single would have been nearly so HUGE as it undoubtedly was had they filmed a clip of a band playing in a garage…
I hope these guys get as popular internationally as OK Go were for “Here We Go”.
