Make sure to read the information at the end of this video but basically me and DJT decided to walk a portion of Yonge Street in Toronto Canada. We started at around 9 am at the intersection of Wellington St and Yonge St in Aurora and we walked south along Yonge until we hit the end at Lake Ontario about 14 hours later. Where we ended up in the video is actually where Yonge St begins. To make our walk even more strange and interesting, I decided to do it in stopmotion, since stopmotion is what I like to do, so basically I would walk, stop and have my picture taken by DJT, as well as take his picture, so we have 2 sides captured. This was extremely tedious as you can imagine, we had thousands of pictures each, as we walked over 42 kilometers or 26 miles in 14 hours. There were many strangers wondering what on Earth we were doing taking each others pictures, we had no time to stop and explain so we made this video, which should do a better job. The next day, was a day I would not forget, having not really trained to walk so much in one day, our feet were ready to fall off, and we spent the whole day recovering on our soft sofas. Hope you enjoy this video, as it was hard to make but fun none the less and has me thinking bigger things.

    Awesome!

    I've long been under the impression that Sukhumvit Road in Thailand running from Bangkok south, then east to the Cambodian border is the longest road in the world.

    I'm sure that there are all different ways of defining what constitutes a continuous road.

    Does Yonge not continue on north of Toronto?
  • Fixinmytie 2 years ago
    Yonge goes north , then north west, then makes weird turns.. long road!

    Great video! Can I ask how you loaded all the stills into your editing program? Not one-by-one, I hope...!
  • Fixinmytie 1 year ago
    Thanks Jason, the images are imported as an image sequence, definitely not 1 by 1, that would take weeks..
