Crashed by Stereofloat. For some reason the audio came out with a bunch of distortion, oh well no big deal.
Luis Caldevilla 3 months ago

Actually the source file has distortion so it wasn't Vimeo.

Xcellent work! How long did it take to put this together?
Daniel Hayek 3 months ago

About 15- 20 minutes of shooting and then about 25 minutes of editing and negotiating with Final Cut Pro.

I love this! It reminds me of the classic 1952 short film "Neighbors."

That sure is a lot of jumping... You guys must've been exhausted!
Good work!

At the end it felt like our brains couldn't communicate with our feet anymore. It was impossible to jump in unison!

Thank you kindly.
Maria Fernanda G. 3 months ago

how exactly you do that? (the vid was great btw :D) but do you have to like..photoshop every image or..what?
Daniel Hayek 3 months ago

It really depends on the software you have. You're on a windows machine and I use a Mac but...here's what I did-
I took a bunch of pictures while we jumped and then imported that whole set into Final Cut Pro, then i told final cut to show each image for a certain interval I think it was .05 seconds maybe, added some music, a title, and then exported it. All in all time spent actually editing this together was probably about 20-25 minutes. Learning your way around final cut is tricky but i know you can also do something like this with quicktime, you can import images and have it show each at a set interval.

Hope that helps.
Maria Fernanda G. 3 months ago

oh so the original pictures where of you guys Jumping? thats what I wanted to know :D thanks!

oh, ha ha. yes, i just said 1, 2, 3, jump! over and over again.

Nice. Excellent title. Good HD.
Remember a lot of similar stuff made a long time ago with 16mm and Super 8 mm cameras with stop motion.
Films were longer, more varied and more fluid too.
Chris Simon 2 months ago

Really, really like this and prefer to standard stop motion. Amazing "float" technique with stills. Amazing. Love music too.
Felicia Kay 1 month ago

I always like seeing stop animation. One day I will get around to making one. They seem like oodles of fun and a totally sick product in the end.
Debby Herbenick 3 days ago

I so want to work in this office so I can high five people while we float. The only thing better would be a post-floating milk shake please.
Daniel Hayek 2 days ago

Ha ha. We always recommend that milk shakes be consumed post floating high fives.
