Best Stop-Motion Block Video Ever
Posted by warmchip on Thursday, Feb 25, 2010
We thought nobody could beat the brick-assisted stop-motion music video clipaction of Michel Gondry’s White Stripes video. Nope. Turns out nobody beats Nobody Beats the Drum.
The Dutch electro act have a new video for “Grindin’,” courtesy of Rogier van der Zwaag, maker of other fine Youtube products like Purple Cactus and the aptly titled The Drum. He painstakingly painted miniature blocks to make a series of dioramas that he photographed one by freaking one. A lot of blocks. A lot of dioramas. Talk about grindin’! (Good thing the music is darn good too.)
Also a must is the cheeky making-of. Turns out that spending six months on three minute video makes you a huge a-hole and can land you in practice room quarantine. At least it was totally worth it.
