"Here's a bigger and better version of my previous 6x6 stopmotion assembly video. Its made of 218 pieces, 1066 separate frames that I had to shoot individually, and took me 5 weekends to complete, compared to the consecutive 4 hours the 6x6 animation took. This was mainly because it was shot during a busy school term instead of the holidays. Also you'll notice that the animation is much smoother-- the pieces actually glide into place as if they were nasty little Block Monsters taking over the world, and you can see the internal mechanism much more clearly. Part of the work while making this video was also the post-production where I had to edit away the cubies and pencils and Electroencephalographs that got accidentally caught in the background and do a bit of colour correction, which I didn't bother to do the other time. NOTE: Everything else is completely genuine, and if you see something that seems impossible its probably held there by blu-tack or a pair of Hidden Chopsticks. Some people have complained about the alleged presence of Nazi influence in the video at about 1:10, but I must insist again that it is nothing of the sort; simply being a stylized logo of my initials "Yh" which bears a remarkable similarity to the symbol."

messengerThis dude Godwined himself.
I don't for a second buy that this guy "just happened" to choose the Swastika to represent his initials, and didn't expect people would notice.
Nazi.

siftbotInvocations (timeshift) cannot be called by messenger because messenger is not privileged - sorry.
ponceleonI was a bit thrown by the swastika until I saw his name. Keep in mind, the guy's name is Asian, possibly Chinese. I'm fairly sure the swastika is a symbol which means something completely different in Asia.
Anyway, gonna give him the benefit of the doubt since the video is so amazing.

Isn't it the reversed symbol the original one and not used by Nazi?

xxovercastxxthe creator has left the following comment:
I just found out through the digg comments that this video has been blocked in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Brazil, Russia and other countries, because it is apparently illegal in those places to use any symbol of the Nazis except for art and education, according to Wikipedia.
I would consider this as art, but who knows? Some people may have bad tastes.
Anyway a hastily edited version of the video safe for German (etc.) eyes should be done and uploaded tomorrow.
Perhaps we can switch to the censored video or, preferably (IMO), slap a link to it in the description when it becomes available.
