Stop Motion Video
Hi! Today I would like to share with you two very interesting video I found. They all shot using a technique called stop motion. That means the video you see is comprise of pictures that are individually shot. First we will take a look at the Olympus PEN Story.
Inspiring? Yes! There is nothing better than the montage style to tell a story of reminiscence. And the general set is the house of family, which add in the sense of happiness and a nostalgic feeling towards the golden days. Instead of simply putting pictures all around the house, the director make use of the 3-D space, the hero may go standing up, diving in, taking escalator, riding hot air balloon and skydiving. At last, the young boy finally becomes an old man, returning his old spot, joining taking the picture of the reunion. It leaves a lasting impression of the journey of life. There’s no better time introducing their product, Olympus PEN, a witness of this life.
However, this technique of moving around in the house is nothing new, some artist in Japan have made a similar video before. Only it is more amateur but still fun to watch. You can click here to view their youtube video.
Last, a very exquisite music video also using the stop motion technique (I’m guessing). It’s called Her Morning Elegance, by Oren Lavie, a very talented songwriter, singer and director. Experience his music, vision and dream.
