Presentation
Historical, bounded
This launch collection follows the strongest preserved public evidence. It is a useful series history, not an exhaustive reconstruction of every team, festival, or credit.
Five films retain healthy, identity-matched Pixel Drop Vimeo embeds. Tricked Out is included as the documented origin, but its historical Vimeo URL now identifies an unrelated video and is not embedded.
The collection
Six documented projects
2011 · The origin
Tricked Out
Andrew Melzer initiated this 48 Hour Film production. Deven joined the effort, and the experience became the origin point for his later Pixel Drop work.
Deven's documented contribution
Created the Billy D's Liquid Arsenic prop graphic and contributed to the 48-hour production; the preserved post does not establish an exhaustive individual credit.
Historical link withheld
The preserved film URL now identifies a different work, so no video is embedded.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Dying
The first documented Pixel Drop 48 Hour Film, built around a comic-book visual-effects idea that moved into the live-action frame.
