David creates the graphics while Henry writes the music and edits the sound. Henry joined 8-Bit Cinema in 2013 and taught himself how to create the chip tunes that you hear in the show. The show has become a sensation; their parodied version of Spirited Away has garnered over one million views and their version of Guardians of the Galaxy even received attention from director and writer James Gunn. The videos have been featured on such outlets as TIME, Entertainment Weekly, Mashable, Wired; and was nominated for a 2014 STREAMY award for "Best Animated Series" category.
