Stop motion inside stop motion

500 people holding more than 1,500 (!!!) developed pictures all around Israel, creating a smooth music video within their hands. (Best viewed not on full screen). Stop motion inside stop motion.
Interesting concept, but the content was kinda boring. Hopefully, that's just a first attempt.

Were they actually holding distinct photos, or was the content photoshopped in? The lighting looks a bit funny. And I can tell from some of the pixels

A similar effect is used in Sia's video for Breathe Me -- although as far as I can tell it's a special effect.

Photoshopping the content into the video would make the whole project fairly pointless, I think.

Developed .... pictures?
Is this even possible anymore unless someone has a Beseler enlarger and their own darkroom?
Wouldn't they have just printed out images from digital instead of going to the trouble and expense of printing 1500 photos onto $1/sheet photo paper (price recalled from my photo classes in the '80s) from negatives? Seems a lot less labor intensive, but maybe that's part of the charm. Maybe I'm just being pedantic again.
Anyway, interesting idea. I love stop animation, and this is novel. I would like to see this done with more interesting content.

Looks more like 1500 than 1500!!! to me. 10^(10^(10^3.314182862168642)) would certainly be a lot of pictures!

I seized and shat myself watching that. What do I win?

Very cool. Although Renoroc's comment actually makes me wonder if a warning for epileptics might be appropriate for this post.

Are you serious? Film cameras and film are still sold. Film can still be dropped off to be processed and, gasp!, printed in shops all over the place. Here, check this out.

I kept hoping the clip would end with the stop motion photograph starting to display the meta-video. It would have taken a bit of extra time and forethought, but the payoff would have been killer. Props anyhow.

I enjoyed it. I hope I have the opportunity to visit there someday.

I had to watch it twice - the second time to see the people holding the photos.
Dizzy now.

Developed pictures: possible (as explained previously)
Price-wise? 1500 sheets of 5x7 black and white paper would cost about $700 from Amazon. Add to that the labor of framing & printing each frame? No way, in my opinion. They were most likely printed via inkjet. "Developed" was perhaps a poor choice of words, unless the filmmakers care to weigh in.
Could it be done using old-school enlargers & chemicals? Yes.
Is there any practical reason to do so, given the (apparent) objectives of the finished product? No way.
