Amazing Movie Combines Walking People From All Over The World
Here is a clever thought: what if one could create a stop motion movie that combines thousands of frames each taken by a different photographer. Well, Blipfoto did just that.
They did this using a smart mechanism to keep the frames simple. Each frame constitutes 1/8 of a step. This way each eight photographs combine to create one step.
The resulting film was displayed in the 2010 Edinburgh Art Festival.
The vimeo video states that "[The film was made from] 1205 photographs taken in 21 countries over 40 days, as one film. Featuring 'Turn' by Travis, used with kind permission"
You can read more about the project on Blipfoto's Life.Turns project page, including the clever way Blipfoto used to even out the quantities of each frame.

Lame...
I could not find it interesting at all... pretty suck acutally,
could not get the feeling of the people walking at all and even more - I got a massive headache from this stitched frames.
Thumbs down
amazing

Could have been a lot better
Could have been a lot better without the massively different backgrounds, even if people couldn't find a lighter or less cluttered background they could have edited the photo's to colour pop the people to help them stand out. Just looks like a big mess most of the time as there's no contrast between person and background on half of them.
It's not that great. The
It's not that great. The backgrounds are terrible!
o.o
What a headache to watch. Anyone getting seizures yet?
Agree
I agree with the others..a less cluttered background would have made the clip better!
headache +1
Well - I found it quite
Well - I found it quite good. I wouldn't want to watch it for too long - my eyes did start to hurt but there were some very inventive and amusing images in there like the people with the lightsabre and the guy with a bag over his head, kids asleep and so on.
So do I
Yeah, i agree, it was to messy, with the backrounds, but the soundtrack is really good! Anyone who know what the song's name is? :)
they could have at least
they could have at least taken an average color/luminosity of the backgrounds and strung them together in a way that slowly shifted around instead of violently and randomly.
great idea badly exectued!
WHAT?!
I thought it was beautiful as is. Wonderful piece of art!! Life is not about uncluttered backgrounds and perfection, and every photo should not look that way. It was terrific. LOVE it.
Facinating
I think it is wonderful. And the different backgrounds and lighting emphasize that it was taken in 1000 different places. Another lesson in the long hard schooling that we are really all alike regardless of where we live.
Very cool.
Oh come on, it was great. Why would you bother pursuing the concept if you're going to make the background the same as has been suggested in other comments? The whole idea was all those photos were taken in different places and put together in one continuous film.
I was able to watch it no problem. The only time I found it hard to follow the walking pattern was when it shifted from adult to child.
Hmmm...
21 countries and not a single black person? Kind of makes you wonder..
:)

this sucks.
this sucks. uninteresting, unimaginative, horrible pictures... waste of time, computer resources, internet bandwidth, and fotons
