2 Player Productions, who you may know from the first season of the Penny Arcade web show or Reformat the Planet, has put together a proof-of-concept for a documentary about Minecraft, Notch and Mojang Specifications that they are trying to get funding for via Kickstarter. 
 
Seems like it could be pretty interesting. Personally I think the best part of this story has probably already come and gone, but really there is no telling where Minecraft is going to go now that it has established itself. Crazy shit is always a possibility.
 
But whatever, opinions are opinions. Here is the mini-doc: 
  

I watched a lot, then begun to scrub through, it seems a little too artsy for my tastes.
 
Though I did giggle at the mario kart comment.

Think this is mostly interesting because it's the creation of one person and how it's become so huge. 
One million sold copies, and GOTY awards, for a game that's still in beta isn't exactly a small feat. 
 
Kind of brings me back when watching documentaries about the birth of the video game industry, when it came down to the work of a handful of pioneers. 
Some nostalgia going on here, and it comes back to the basic building blocks (see what I did there?) of game development.

Great video, thanks for sharing it and pointing it out. I would love to see a full length documentary of the whole development and Notch's life and inspiration. 
 I wish them all the best of luck, both Mojang and  2 Player Productions.

Man, this kind of looks awesome. I would pledge were I in a position to do so, but nevermind. Notch and the rest of Mojang seem like really cool guys, and 2 Player Productions' work on Penny Arcade: The Series has been extraordinary, will suck when that series ends. Those are usually only 10-15 minutes though, I'd love to see them make an attempt at feature-length documentaries like this, with a subject matter that I'm really kind of buzzed about. So yeah, all the best to them.

I can think of alot of far more important things that 150,000 Dollars could be put towards, thats a serious amount of money to ask of from donations. I love Minecraft, but comeon. 

That was a fun video.
I don't get what else they're gonna put in it, or why they need $150,000- but that was a fun little documentary.

Loved the documentary snippet - 2 Player Productions have done superb work with the Penny Arcade guys in the past.
 
One thing I don't get though - if Mojang are earning so much money, why don't they employ the documentary dudes and use whatever they produce to help promote Minecraft and that mystery game more?
