My good friends (and South Philly natives) Fat City Reprise (myspace.com/fatcityreprise) recently made a music video out based off 45,000 photographs. The effect is pretty damn awesome.
It was featured on Digg yesterday which was kind of cool to see.
"Cesar Kuriyama, a New York animator and lighting technical director took 45,000 photographs with a Nikon D200 DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera and stitched them together to create the illusion of video.
Kuriyama says he directed the talent in the video to move as best they could in slow-motion while he had his director of photography Tommy Agriodimas shoot JPG bursts with the Nikon D200.
The duo were able to get about 60 images per burst at about four pictures per second. "Obviously we did many takes for each shot," says Kuriyama. "Eventually one good take of them moving in slow motion would look great." "
