This is a video story in stop motion. The people shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. No post production! Watch it and be absolutely amazed!
Thanks Rosemary! That was fantastic! Stop-motion requires so much patience and attention to detail (just thinking about it makes me anxious!) but I'm sure all the work is totally worth it when you end up with something as clever and charming as this is.
