The Art of Motion

This was an animation experiment I made for an independent study my junior year of college. The entire film is stop motion, meaning no effects were added in post production. To make the actors fly, I repeatedly filmed them jumping, and then I spliced together the frames of them in the air. I also purposely timed the whole thing to the music, which meant I had to keep track of the number of times the actors jumped. This video has appeared numerous times on European air waves, and in the states, Jimmy Kimmel wanted to purchase it but wanted exclusive rights and wouldn't pay me enough, so I did not sell it. The music is by Dick Dale and the Deltones.
