45,000 Photos

How’s this for innovation.

Good video doesn’t always need a great video camera. A still camera, imagination and a lot of hours can also get you there.

Cesar Kuriyama, a New York animator and lighting technical director, has directed a visually arresting music video using an interesting technique.

Eschewing a video camera, he took 45,000 photographs with a Nikon D200 DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera and stitched them together to create the illusion of video.

Amazing.

    You are welcome. I thought it all worked well together and the way it was shot was amazing.

    The communications major in me can’t help but comment about the line “the illusion of video.” Video is just an illusion of multiple frames shot and run together at high speed. I know you know this. I’m just feeling a bit professorial this morning.
