Here’s something I thought about recently, and if it wasn’t so time-consuming to learn how to build and set tracks in Stepmania, I’d totally do it.

Basically, there’s Stepmania, which is kinda like Dance Dance Revolution for the PC. Some songs that people posted have video accompanyments.

My idea is to maybe take a few 2-3 minute kung-fu videos from classic Shaw Brothers kung fu movies, like Ghostface Killer or Disciples, Executioners from Shaolin, etc. Then, instead of “dancing” with the “music”, the arrows come up and you take the role of one of the combatants, moving and stepping kung fu style. I was thinking of having the upleft and upright arrows in play, and stepping there (or forward) would accentuate attacks.

Maybe this year I’ll put a small clip together and see how it turns out…
