Very interesting. I've seen another video like this but this one has more depth (i.e. balloon, hang-gliding)
No post-production? I'm confused by this statement. Please explain.

excellent job man.. i like it so much..
Stéphane Augé 5 months ago

A pure and simple "copy past" of te work of Dokugyunyua who did an excellent stop motion movie: "Stop motion with wolf and pig" you can find easilly on youtube.
They should at least name the guy!
Raffaella Traniello 5 months ago

Dokugyunyua invented a technique. They did another movie whit the same technique.
Ricardo Tomasi 5 months ago

The concept, execution and even some parts of the script are clearly imitations. It's so similar you can't say it's just a "reference", it's not just the technique - stop motion with pictures has been around for decades (PES rings any bells?).
