For this video, we took about 3,000 still photos and printed them out. Then we took about 3,000 more photos of the printed photos and played them back at 6 frames per second. This was shot entirely on the Canon 5D Mark II.

We had to shoot this video on a micro budget. So as you will see from the photos below, it was simply me, my animation assistant Sarah, and the actor. From beginning to end, we probably spent about 50 or so hours on the project.

There’s not much to say about this video, so enjoy!
