Want a CiV victory movie? How about this:

The name of this work is Civilization.

It is a video mural by Marco Brambilla, and it would be almost perfect for any victory condition.

The only problem is it has a bit of religion in it, and Civ5 does not, but I think it fits anyway. Not to mention that it's just plain awesome.

So next time you play the game and win, alt-tab out of the game, and go see it. It will make you feel better.

Amazing video, thank you very much for sharing!

300 video layers. Oh my.

Can you say trippy? There are also some boobs in there, so they probably wouldn't be able to use it because of that either... of course ever other person on this planet has boobs... but you get my point.

was that adolf hitler dancing in hell?

daaang, cool video. thanks for sharing
seems a little too long though for a victory screen, maybe a slightly sped up version would be cool?

This epic video mural contains over 300 individual channels of looped video blended into a multi-layered seamless tableau of interconnecting images that illustrate a contemporary, satirical take on the concepts of Heaven and Hell.

Geysers of fire!

good eye, didn't notice my first time watching it. And I usually look for stuff like that.

Watching it once makes up for the dozens of end game movies I've already missed.

The visual/audio combination made me feel like I was being given a video tour of Ming's palace from the Flash Gordon movie. For me it was more 'weird' than 'cool'.

I love that video, I thinks its truly "modern" art

I'm glad you guys like it.

Do you agree that games in general could use more artsy content like this?


Some other interesting observations:


-At the top level (heaven), there's a guy dancing on the right side and he looks a lot like Michale Jackson. Also, there is written "Wonder World" which is similar to Jackson's WonderLand.
-There is a total of 3 pairs of boobies, but they are hardly noticeable except for maybe once. However, they're very artsy and not pornographic/erotic so I think it's O.K.
-There's the giant ghost from Ghost Busters movie somewhere mid-level.
-The clock on mid-level is counting seconds down to "midnight" and then goes out of view.
-The black zeppelin at the top of heaven has a billboard that reads "The world is yours..." , quite fitting for a domination victory, wouldn't you say?
-There are two body builders, one at the bottom of hell and one at the center of heaven. I guess the analogy is obvious.
-There are monstertrucks running into rocks in hell.
