I wish I had talent

Check out how amazing this commercial is. Its the 50th anniversary of the Olympus PEN camera, and they made this stop-motion commercial. The artists took over 60,000 pictures and made almost 10,000 prints to do this. So amazing. I think that stop-motion is some of my favorite technology.

Wow. That's an impressive bit of art. Very clever - and requires the kind of time and attention to detail that I can only admire from afar (it's this as much as the "talent" that strikes me - I have neither the talent nor the dedication). Thanks for sharing it.

The amount of creativity in these things always surprises me.

This is a similar one that I really like: http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2009/04/wolf_in_stop_mo.html

And this is my favorite stop-motion ever (and a beautiful song): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY

i'll need to show you the best stop motion video ever
it involves legos, and thriller
but not because of thriller, because someone did it with legos.

Watch a boy grow to up from 1959, meet & marry a girl, have a daughter, travel the world, come out of the Y2K closet, and return for a group photo remake as a 60 year old man. 
Odd things: Tell me what you think is odd? Is it odd that he left his wife and daughter at the beach? ;-)

I just rewatched the video. Not weird at all, it was his mid-life crisis!
