Lenore's Song by Yunyu: Made with 16,000+ Digital Photos! - Neatorama

Neatorama reader Yunyu sent this one in: her music video "Lenore's Song," a stop-motion movie made with over 16,000 digital photographs, where each frame is a photograph!

Apparently, the music video claimed some lives - seven machines (2 external hard drives, 1 Apple Powerbook G4, 1 Mac Desktop G5, and 2 Digital betacam transwer machines) kicked the bucket. Presumably, they couldn't process that many hi-res photos, or maybe it's something in the song ...

Smashing Pumpkins did something like that years ago for their video of thirtythree.

seems easier to just shoot it digital video with 24p camera and remove frames in editing.

well done!
the stop motion matches the mood perfectly.

Like your music Yunyu, keep it up!

Remind anyone else of bjork?

What makes this different from any other stop motion video on YouTube? Aren't they all shot with digital camera, of one type or another?

Also: Ditto what Jason E says, you can do the exact same effect much easier by shooting on digital video then randomly removing frames.

Just a volunteer here from the film crew. Camera was a Canon EOS 5D borrowed off a mate. Aside from the jittery aesthetics, the other reason was that it was cheapest way to make a clip with special effects, plus promo photos to spare. We couldn't even afford film. It's as indie as poor indie gets.
