Amazing Stop Motion Youtube Video

This stop motion video is incredible, the time taken to create a stop motion video like this would have been a good few months, to take a picture for every bit of movement is just tedious, it takes someone with the willpower to carry it through.

The video itself has a man waking up at his desk starting a days work, but animated to move backwards and the effect is awesome without walking it looks as if he is sliding on roller skates but he isn't, what makes this equally spectacular is the fact that additionally on top of him moving through the streets he is eating, drinking and smoking in between, so this looks like the work of either a professional animator or someone who has done this before.

Stop motion can easily be achieved with a good camera, by taking pictures of slight movements in an ordered sequence you can achieve the effect of an animation that Ardman animations does quite often with such animated offerings such as Wallace and Gromit.
