Indeed, it is "Smash" Williams. Good eye. Bonus points if you can pick out Luis from Sesame Street.

Luis is at 12 seconds! BOOM! Where do I pick up my points?

Points are on their way...

A digital slr was used for this piece.

Everything was shot the same way with a continuous shutter. Every scene, every location photographed the same. The 'certain sequences' you are referring to were created using custom software, techniques, and lots of frame by frame reconstruction by hand in post.

Our reply to Marcus' question probably clarifies things a little bit for you. This was not stop motion, but instead a technique we tested extensively ourselves. The production and post work shouldn't be considered separate since they were both created knowing how they'd fit together in the end.

YES! I think the same!

We tried to develop something a little bit different for this project. Happy to hear it resonated with you.

you're too kind...

smile

Well, may be I'm just impressed a bit too much. But still, and I'm talking not only of this video, you're really talented, creative *and* obviously you're able to work hard (I mean, making such videos takes way more than couple of hours, especially for only two people). So, you either are a great team, or will be:) Just keep going!

Yes, definitely more than 'just a couple hours', smile! But, this is what we do so we don't mind.

Stay well.

Didn't hurt a bit.

Smile.

We used a normal, readily available digital SLR camera.

smile!

Really!? Wow, how many fps did you shoot at?

Around five or six maybe?

That takes a fancy SLR, I think, right?

Just like we said initially when you asked... "a readily available digital SLR"... But, remember it's really not all about the tools.

Don't miss the forest for the trees.

There's a lot about video editing that i don't understand and this video is way out of my skillset. It's just so cool looking, I'd love to learn how to do this.
