Nguyet and John: stop motion video

September 29, 2009

A few weeks ago when I shot Nguyet and John’s amazing wedding I decided I would try out something new… well, at least new to me. It’s called Stop Motion Video. In a nutshell, it is essentially taking a brazillion photos in a series, and using video software to create a video out of the photos. Each photo you see in the video is only displayed for 0.2 seconds each. Consider the song in the video is 5 min long with a bit of mathemagic you come out with approximately 1600 photos that were used to make a 5 minute video.  That’s pretty insane in my opinion.  I had a lot of fun doing this though and there’s a good chance I’ll break this out again.  It’s a lot of work but the end result is pretty sweet!

I don’t take full credit for this as it would not have been possible if I didn’t have a killer 2nd shooter riding shotgun with me all day. Thanks once again to Brittany Esther for being the awesomeness that she is.

Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

    Soooo rad Terence! It has an old Super 8 video camera feel to it.

    Wow man, that was pretty cool. I can see how much work it would’ve taken to make that video, but with the music and the story line it definitely is a work of art.
