Stop Motion Wednesday - Ten Thousand Pictures Of You

Daniel Neville

This weeks stop motion is a video that grabbed me a couple of weeks ago while I was surfing Vimeo looking for inspiration around personal stories told digitally. Infact 'Ten Thousand Pictures Of You' is a roller coaster tale of a girl called Sarah and what her world is like after her heart has been broken by the man she loves. Its creator Robin King calls it not a stop motion film but rather a 'pixilation' which he explains as stop motion with people... an interesting line to draw.

Regardless of what its called this is one master work stopmtion - and before you ask there was no superimposure done in post production. Everything was shot on a Canon EOS 350D digital SLR and in total produced around 26,000 individual images. It took Robin King about a year to complete the film and he even coded his own 3D anamatic planning program to help him work out how to tell his story. All the hard work has paid off and has definitely grabbed more than just my attention. So hats off to you Robin for producing one of the coolest examples of digital story telling out there!
