I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a sucker for stop-motion animation. I also love fall and all its colors, and running through rustling fallen leaves. Photographer Brett Foxwell brought together stop-motion and fallen leaves and turned them into a hypnotizing video titled The Book of Leaves. He used as many as 12,000 pressed leaves for this video, so it took many walks through fallen leaves and plenty of effort to put it all together.
Filmmaker creates epic stop motion video from cross-sectional photos of wood
Sometimes, I like something so much that I get lost for words. This was my first reaction when I saw a stop motion movie WoodSwimmer by filmmaker Brett Foxwell. He turned something simple as cutting wood into a jaw-dropping video. It feels like you’re watching a deep scan of a tree, with all its perfections and imperfections. It’s a different and abstract view on something so ordinary and so familiar to us. Together with the gorgeous subject, Brett’s technique is simply amazing. So, when the two are brought together – you get a stop motion video that will make you replay it more than once.
