Stop Motion Wednesday: Fat City Reprise - Long Gone

All stop motion films require an extraordinary amount of patience, but then once you have watched this weeks stop motion you will realise that there is patience and then there is patience. Shooting a full 4 minute long music video on a DSLR camera and then stringing 45,000 images together to make it work is real patience. 

That is exactly what a band called Fat City Reprise got Cesar Kuriyama, a animation and lighting artist to do for their music video titled "Long Gone" In total the video took 14 months of work and $3,000 to complete. One of the really interesting things about the video is that Kuriyama got his cast to move in slow motion during filming while his director of photography took bursts of four images a second - a novel approach and technique which results in a truly beautiful music video. Enjoy. 

Production notes: No Video cameras were used in the production of this music video. It was created entirely from 45,000 Photographs taken by a Nikon D200 DSLR. Read a full article about the making of on WIRED.
