Creating hand-drawn 2D animation is a laborious process that involves drawing and filming hundreds, if not thousands, of frames to bring the characters to life, but why draw every frame when you can use photos?
Directors LAMAR+NIK used photos printed on stickers to create the unique look of The Shin's music video "Half A Million", 5,566 photo stickers in fact, and the tactile layering effect of the stacked stickers gives the video a hypnotic visual appeal.
