Zero 7 "Destiny"

Turn up your volume by a lot



the best thing about interpolated rotoscoping (which is basically this technique you see here: filming a video digitally and then tracing over every still manually)
is that you expect the animation to be...well, as you normally expect animation to be. The surprise thus, when you see how real those human movements are, hits hard. Every detail counts, eyes flitting down, heads turning, bodies shuffling...its just as leung said, only in video form.
I think this video resonates with the human core when we follow these everyday 'snapshots' (thanks leung) of people on the train. You're suddenly moved by the vividness of their lives.
The video also does make single people slide a little further down into depression.


keep your volume up
