Fabulous Music Video Made From Still Photos

Have you seen this music video? According to reports I've seen, the director, Cesar Kuriyama, constructed it from  45,000 still photographs over a period of 14 months. Do you like it?--David Schonauer

The song itself, ehhh, but the video over all is very interesting, the concept. I think there are some good images in there, but I would like to see this applied to a better song and something more visually stunning. Overall, mediocre.

they should have used a video camera...

Very cool! And funny that I just ran across your post, because I recently wrote on two other music videos made from stills. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

What Bill Ulrich did with my stills strikes me as much better:

I don't see any real reason for constructing this video from still images rather than shooting it with a video camera. To me it's nothing more than a gimmick.

Dude, how did you post that up there? I just came off , running that full-screen high def, and it's all of a sudden 404ing. Guess maybe they just got flooded with more traffic than they were willing to split for...

I'm a photographer, and a drummer, and that thing does different stuff to me each time I watch it! But in the case of your page, I can't full-screen it.

I've got a few apps and add-ons that supposedly go fetch video, but I've been stymed every time I try to bring that one down to hard drive. Any suggestions?

Bulshit. These are not ONLY still pictures. He recorded some video on that, too.
