ten thousand pictures of you

broken heart? answer = revenge. This is an amazing bit of stop motion using real people. very very clever.

Ten Thousand Pictures of You from Robin King on Vimeo.

From the Director, Editor and Animator Robin King

"The whole film took about a year: roughly three months each for development, prep, shoot and post - although due to the nature of the film, part of the post bled into the shoot.

The programs I used were Photoshop, Premiere 6.5 and some bespoke programs I coded myself (a 3D animatic planning program and another to smooth out some of the tracking shots). To be honest my machine and the software weren't up to what I needed from them, and I would have a much better time of it now, with my macbookpro, FCP and a tablet...

I used a Canon Eos 350D Digital SLR to shoot, and took roughly 26,000 photos overall."

UPDATE - No one is saying that this is particuarly new, but it is a very effective technique, no? Another great example is this 1952 movie by Normal McLaren (via James Russell)
