Stop Motion Video

[dolomitefan]

Not sure if anyone has posted this before (apologies if they have). Found this video which was created entirely from 45,000 Photographs taken by a Nikon D200 DSLR. This Photographs were stitched together to create the illusion of video. I wonder how many bodies they went through?

Pretty impressive

45,000 shots? That D200 will be almost run in then! (IIRC, the D3's [yes, I know the D3 is a fully pro camera and the D200 is semi-pro] shutter is guaranteed for 300,000 cycles.)

Impressive. just shows what we can all do with a little planning and thought.

I would imagine that given the production value of something like this a D200 was small fry in the budget so even if it was thrown away after it probably did't figure in the scheme

Hmmmmmm,

Tiz impressive indeed and it must have taken those guys ages but, I cant help thinking....why:shrug:....why didn't they just use a video camera and lose 2 frames out of every five to get the same effect ?

Am I just been a stick in the mud ?

Now if they had used a 5D MKII....

>>why didn't they just use a video camera and lose 2 frames out of every five to get the same effect ?

Cos they only had an SLR to hand?

B.

I would imagine the bit of playing they did with pulling focus and dof they would of needed a very big 35mm camera to get similar results. A 2k DV camera just wont cut it if that's the sorta stuff you want to do the sensor is nowhere near big enough.

Really good.

On a similar theme one of Nick Parks Wallace and Gromit films was shot on a 1dmk2.
