I can’t even begin to think of how long this took to make. Thanks to youtube and digital cameras getting better and cheaper, these kinds of videos have surfaced from all over the world.

One of the most popular style of a cheap (yet time consuming) stop motion videos are the “photo a day” vids. The premise is simple: keep a camera on a tripod (or just hold it out in front of you), and take a photo every day for X amount of years. What intrigues me is that a lot of these people started their photos well before youtube was even invented… Where exactly did they think people were going to see their videos?

I can’t tell you how good I think this piece is! The whole time I was watching it I couldn’t stop asking myself if it was stop-motion or 3D? I think it’s probably a mixture of both, but damn did they do it well.

After poking around for about 20 minutes, I found this great article on the making of “Asics Oragami: In Pursuit of Perfection“. Turns out much of the 3D work was done using the same software that I’m getting into called Cinema 4D. It’s always nice to know that something this polished was made using software that I have chillin on my laptop!
