Dancing jelly beans.

I have a very big appreciation for stop motion productions. Regardless if it's big or small, I personally think they are all masterpieces. From the age of 12, I've been watching the infamous Bob The Builder stop motion cartoon and had fallen deeply in love with it. 


Stop motion (also known as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.

And just recently I came across a music video that was made in stop motion... with JELLY BEANS. I've seen drawings and clay figures and furniture used in these kind of productions, but not food. They're tiny and come in so many colours. All 288,000 of them.

This is the video of the making of the amazing jelly beans in stop motion

This project was finished after 2 years of hardcore effort and patience. Everyone who was involved in it - from the mapping of story line, scrip writing, storyboard drawing, converting from plain animation to the real thing, jelly bean by jelly bean, frame by frame - are credited less than they deserve. 

The praises given should be more than just to their skills. When you look behind the impressive outcome that is presented which is the only thing most people see, you will see something that impresses and inspires you more. The pure love for art. These people dream for art. They do what they do simply because they enjoy it. When people dream together, great things happen. Joined passions and inspiration fuel the process. I completely admire the perseverance they had till the very last frame. When it is able to bring a smile to whoever sees it, or just inspires them for that one day, to beautify lives, I believe they have achieved their goal. :)
