Wow, that was pretty amazing. Goes to show that some people are really focused. In the time it took him to make that, I would have started and stopped about 10 projects. My attention span is not much to speak of.

MaryDellamorte—I would've cracked up if you just ended the last sentence at "not".

Damn. Nice. I've still got the papers from some of my marker-and-paper animations, and yeah, I had somewhere around thousand pages of paper for an animation a little longer than a minute - and that was by no means perfectly smooth animation. But sketching stuff in sharpie's easier than cutting scenes out of cardstock, by far.

The stop animation "making of" video on his website is almost as interesting as the result.
My favorite part is when after 12 hours or so of the 18 hours he spent cutting and assembling... he needed his glasses. I laughed.

...I'd assumed they were laser-cut pages. All the more impressive — and, somehow, more "artistic" — that he was looney enough to do it all by hand.
I don't know why I didn't assume it was computer animation. One could pull off a perfectly good version of the same idea without cutting up several reams of paper; no one would ever be the wiser.

fff, I saw the work in process, and I suspect that everyone would be the wiser had it not been made by hand. It would not look at all special or interesting that way. That's the real beauty of it. Vive la difference!

I'd like to have a go at this myself but I don't think I'm cut out for it somehow.
