What's that people say? A thousand pictures is worth ... no, wait. That's not right.
This video was sent to me by two people (thanks, Kobra and Jaime) in the past couple of days, so I'm passing it along:
This is for a song by Oren Lavie, who provides the following info on his MySpace:
The video was shot all stills - roughly 3225 still photos for the entire video, using one camera, hanging from the ceiling for the main body of the movie. It took 4 weeks before shooting to create an animated computer generated storyboard for the video, with 3d dummies for the characters. It took only 2 days of shooting for the live actors on set to re-create the 3.5 minutes computer sequence, frame by frame. Some of the bed sheets used in the video were taken from Oren's own bedroom and are now considered collectors items, worth at the moment not very much and therefore used as bed sheets. Each of the wonderfully talented people above have worked on the video for a fraction of their normal rates (except Oren who worked for his normal rate of zero).
At least these source images belonged to the musician, as opposed to a certain street artist/Obama fan who's in hot water with the Associated Press over possible copyright issues.
In other photos/Obama cool stuff out there on the Web, here's a link to how photographer David Bergman made a 1,474-Megapixel photo during President Obama's Inaugural Address.
Love it.
Reel Pride showed a great short film about 5 years ago shot the same way. I had no idea how long shooting stuff like that would take, so thanks for cribbing the fun info.
Thanks!
@steph: ha. you said "cribbing."
That water scen is genious. Well done...
And obviously I should look at my post before I hit post..
I meant to say, that it was genius. I loved the water scene...
excellent, made me smile.
I wish they had dedicated as much time to making the song not suck as they did to making the neat video.
