I'd be impressed, but Robot Chicken has been using DSLRs for years now to make their show. This is basically a stop motion film shot with live actors so it's not really innovative in any way, he just sent you guys an email about it or whatever. Also, the song sucks balls.

@boo_radley32: Just becaus eothers have done it, doens't make anopther artists' use of the medium less impressive or captivating. Many artists painted before DaVinci, but that doens't make the Mona Lisa any less wonderful or unique.

If everyone held to that line of thinking it would have been tossed in the garbage to cries of, "yah, I'd be impressed, but this other guy used pigmented oils to make a portrait, like, 10 years ago..."

so is the quirkeyness attributed to the camera being used or is it more intended? i ask because at about 1:40 there's this weird character that appears to be done w/ stopmotion.

@RedBeard: The article from Wired describes how the creature (a stuffed animal) is posed using blue rods and a person wearing black, and then using some post-processing, the rods and man are removed. Since it's still photography used to "animate" an artificial character, it is, indeed, stop-motion animation.

The quirkyness you describe is attributed to the fact that at only a few frames per second, there will be some jitter between frames of "apparent" motion, regardless of how careful you are, unless you are using extremely precise computerized robotic motion control.

@soccer1105: They are:

Adult Girl - Kasia Cylc

Young Girl - Erin Hubbell

Both are quite beautiful with very similar and expressive eyes. The young actress, Erin, only appears for about the first 30 seconds, then the rest of the video is Kasia.

Not a bad song, and I watched the video all the way through. -rare for me.

It was very well done. Different, but not in a way that detracted from what was being presented.

The effect of individual photos was well used.

I say give them the 10,000 dollars.

Althought it is a cool thought, it makes the song dated because it is released a year later, and for $3k, you can easily make this music video with a video camcorder (provided all the same lighting and all) and provide the same effect, the end result will the same... This is all about the director's greed to want to get some fame than to really do a music video for the band.

They're obviously not going after serious photographers by making this hot-shoe mountable. I take a lot of photos with an off camera flash, but I'd have to take this thing off if I wanted to do some walk-around photos with my SB-600 or SB-800.

That's a deal-breaker in my book.

Too bad Nikon doesn't offer Bluetooth connectivity in their newer cameras. Now THAT would be killer.

@Ripley29: My reply/comment above probably hadn't posted yet as you were writing yours. Nikon says, "Attaches to camera's accessory shoe or a camera strap via strap adapter GP1-CL1"

Hotshoe mounted? WTF?

So I guess users are relegated to using the on camera flash or using the IR trigger on an off camera flash. Frankly this wasn't very well thought out.

@SgtBeavis: Actually you don't have to use the hot shoe. From Nikon's site:

Attachment: Attaches to camera's accessory shoe or a camera strap via strap adapter GP1-CL1
