How to Shoot a Fancy Stop-Motion Commercial on the Cheap (-ish)

Have you seen the recent viral ad from Levi’s of a guy walking across America wearing Levi jeans? Pretty simple, but pretty cool. [Maybe the walking thing was inspired by this similar concept in Toronto?]

Anyway, this video here shows us how they pulled it off using just one camera, a tripod, 14 days, a few thousand photos, a few thousand miles, a protractor, a string, and a bit of math. Sign me up.

Their final piece is after the jump – well worth the watch. Click ‘continue reading’ below

    I’m not sure what all the hype is about…I think the concept is interesting and the hard work that was put into it is great but the actual execution is not that great – the guy walks oddly and stiff which is accentuated by the stop motion…I think it could have been done much better with a different model and different edit.

      I think the stiff/stop motion action is the idea. Otherwise one could simply do video.
