stop motion

...I just love it. Always have.

This video has gone viral in just a couple days. Shot at a local Toronto book store, after hearing about two other stores that were closing.

For this 2 minute short video, it took 1,200 frames and 4 long November nights.

I think it's amazing!

Fabulous! I cannot imagine the amount of work in moving all those books
January 11th, 2012
WOW! I really enjoyed that! I was also thinking how much work that was to move all of those books. And truthfull, I am surprised it was ONLY 1200 frames!

Just incredible... even the music is magical! Great link Jenn!

I agree, the music was perfect.

Isn't it amazing! The creator said it felt more like 30,000 frames!
If you're interested, here's a link to a short write up which I found interesting. At the end is another short SM vid which is also awesome! http://www.toronto.com/article/709475--toronto-type-books-video-shows-the-joy-of-books-goes-viral

very, very cool! I'm working on a time-lapse project right now; after that, i'll be going for stop-motion. the results are just so much fun! :-)

That's brilliant - I was just thinking about stop-motion today - I'd love to be able to do it.

Awesome! Both videos were so cool!

Since you love "stop motion" videos, have you ever seen the music video "Her Morning Elegance" by Oren Lavie? I love it!

@davidchrtrans I'd love to see both projects when they're done David! When I'm shooting, I find that I hold my breath. If I tried stop motion, I'd probably eventually pass out! lol

Amazing! Loved the little details like the reading light helping the book cover read the book and the constant wave in the background. Also so surprised (as someone earlier) that it took only 1200 frames!

I love this and have just shown my son Callum it too and he does. I've seen lots of this popping up lately and they just amaze me. This weekend our Mummy/son project is to try our own. lol.
