Holy crap I never stop loving stop motion animation. This is a pretty rad music video of some mad sweet band doing their thing on paper atop a pretty messy desk area. Here’s what the creator says about el processo.
This is the music video for Wave Machine’s track “The Greatest Escape We Ever Made”, directed by Stuart Lanceley and produced by Token Films.
For this video, I rediscovered the joy and agony of stop-motion animation. It’s the reason I first got into film-making.
I created a paper edit first, then shot the band with a Sony Z1 camcorder.
I edited this footage together in Final Cut Pro and then exported every frame as a TIFF. These stills were printed and cut out. It was then re-shot with a digital camera before all the stills were brought back into FCP once again.
