Winnipeg dad Tyler Walsh spent hours putting together a lego stopmotion version of Justin Trudeau's speech to kids about the coronavirus. A movie just came out, "Boyhood", that took 12 years to make. They started filming in 2002. That's never been done before, it's really intriguing. In a related vein, a father has been filming his daughter 15 seconds a week for her entire life, and sped it up into a 4 min video from 0-14 years. Both are below. Part of the reason I imagine this is so intriguing (like OKGO music videos) is that so much can be faked and photoshopped that we don't trust what we see anymore... but you can't fake this stuff. It takes a lot of time and effort and creativity and planning and foresight. And those can be in short supply around us. My daughter loves this one currently. She likes to yell out what's happening. Especially the sharks. and from the same filmmaker, Guillaume Blanchet: "The Man Who Lived on His Bike"
"I love being on a bike, it helps me feel free. I get it from my dad. After days and days of cycling the streets of Montreal, come cold or sun, or even a little frightened, I dedicate this film to him." The night is this Wednesday March 13. If you're interested in attending and seeing the best videos and animations done in the district this year, go to Burnsview at 7:00! The submission date was too early for our longer films, and almost every "60 sec film" was over 60 seconds, so this year Sands entered 3 animations (stopmotions) in the Secondary Short Animation category. We entered the music video by Vanessa, Bradley and Emma, the Lego Race by Randi, Amy and Darien, and the phone olympics by Tessa, Sydney and Keilann. So those people should definitely think about going in case you win the category! http://vitamincr.com/2012/05/3000-photos-30-days-lots-of-love-epic-stop-motion-gundam-battle/ Here's a review: 3,000 photos, 30 days, lots of love -> Epic Stop Motion (Gundam) Battle "One of the things he does really well is with adjusting the focus of the subjects in his video at the appropriate times. Not everything is in/out of focus on each single sequence: only when it makes sense. "The details he puts into the animations is key too – even things you might not immediately think is necessary. For example, the side leggings/armor of Saber Lily from Fate kept shifting up and down – even during times you wouldn’t notice. That detail and consistency is key to feeling like the whole thing was professionally put together. "Language is communicated either through body language, and when necessary, obvious punctuations as well. I think this translates well through different languages and cultures, though admittedly knowing/liking Gundam would help with the appreciation in this video. "Speaking of details, sparks and changing references for the sword part of the battle. Given how quickly things were going, I doubt losing the sparks would really draw away our attention, but he still put it in. "The slow-mo bullet was brilliant. Slow-mo within a stop motion (slow-mo) video." Two Stopmotion videos shown at the end of our unit just before Christmas: Address Is Approximate from The Theory on Vimeo. New music video for Hudson for the song Against the Grain by a guy named Jonathan Chong. "100s of hours pushing 1000s pencils around a table in a dark studio" Hudson - Against The Grain from Dropbear on Vimeo. This stop-motion using coins looks so good, and so labourious that it can't possibly be real, right? Well, they show at the end how they did it - they have a computer pixelate their videos, (pixels are tiny squares on a grid), and then project the blown up image frame-by-frame from the ceiling down onto the carpet. They move the coins as needed. They also have another amazing and labour-intensive lego-based video here. They have made it worth their time by 1) Making it so amazing people will want to see it / pass it around, and 2) Selling high quality versions on itunes for 99c Not just a shocking idea for a stop motion video, but has a message too. Shows how great you can make a video when you plan it out (write a draft/screenplay) before you start shooting!
