ROBBERS ON HIGH STREET

Our good friend and director mastermind Jason Argyropoulos just finished up a video for New York band Robbers on High Street. The labor intensive video took a couple months to complete, but was worth the wait. Now the technical stuff...To achieve the "animation" effect in the stop motion video, the band was first shot on a black back drop. Then each frame of film was cut out by hand and projected onto the set with the city, trees, etc. Using a single frame film camera, a "snap shot" was taken of the projected band member. For each second of the video, 12 snap shots had to be taken and the compiled together like a cartoon / animation. Now check it out for yourself and see the effect in action.
