here's a new approach to animation

Another post to inspire some inspiration. I thought the approach used to create the video below is pretty interesting and calls out for a Studio aArtist user to one up it with something better. Basically, they printed 4133 individual digitially processed video frames onto paper, then posted them in the real work and build a seond video using time lapse photography. The processed video on the paper printouts could be made much more interesting if it was generated using Studio Artist. And another idea would be to have it start to interact with the real world, like paint drip off the pages into the real world video. It's also pretty easy to create time lapse videos using studio artist and the iSight source mode with either an iSight camera or a firewire video camera taking the pictures. You can record a capture frame paseq action step and then add another intial action step in the paseq that just takes up time to build the time dealy in the frame captures.

sorry John where is the video of which you speak? I can't see it on this post, it sounds intriguing...

It's a youTube video, and shows up in the original post here when i look at it. You probably need flash installed to see it. the url for the video itself is:

wow! at times in this I expected the camera to be liberated. Maybe because I just saw some short films where the camera gets broken or destroyed as an effect.
