- dangerousLEH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+92The section where the breakfast crumbs play a game of pong is amazing
- RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+79Seeing the sunlight move in relation to the Tetris blocks gives you an idea of how long it'd take to make something like this.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+45To put this in perspective:
I once made a claymation video, it took me nearly 2 hours, the whole video was about 30 seconds long. - rot97, on 10/12/2007, -3/+46straight to the video- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6222946239593144960&hl=en
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Ok, then what is amazing? I would like to see you make something that cool. Or even link to a video better than that one. Instead of complaining, why don't you make digg better and submit a video yourself?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36Coolest thing I have seen all day.
That would be really sweet if you could glide along the road like he did in the video. That must have taken forever to make, I would have given up after 15 minutes. - burningmonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35I'm so lazy, I wish my clothes would just slide onto my body in the morning.
- jimbo5220, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Can anyone estimate the frames per second? That is a ton of pictures. I'm thinking about 5 FPS, so about 1500 pictures.
- sokko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29"What "breakfast crumbs"? Are they flavored?"
Those crumbs are indeed chocolate sprinkles. In Holland we call it hagelslag and we use it as sandwich topping. There are different flavors: milk, white and pure chocolate, there's even colored sugar with additives.
Vlokken are similar to the hagelslag, only bigger.

More about vlokken: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlokken - chibigoku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Its not about how its not technically hard, its about these guys had an idea for a big stop motion video, and had the patience and dedication to do so. Ive made a few myself, but no more than 100 pics, so In my opinion, what those guys did is a testament to their willpower.... and I Digg that...
- Ottergoose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22The scenes outside are actually done in "stop motion," that is, it's not just him shuffling his feet and taking out the damaging frames post-production. The clouds are moving so fast it looks like he's taking his time.
/$0.02 - Sarica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Seriously, clothes like that must be invented, for the sake of humanity!
- Powerdrift, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Are you sick-minded?
- consoneo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I don't even think we have to ask the question: "Are you retarded?"
- innate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Somewhere in the Netherlands, based the stores seen (Hema). "Australian" was likely a travel agency.
- QuarterRoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Wow you must be like the coolest guy on digg and so modest too. You're not a douche at all. Way to go man.
- HP844182, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14That would make a great music video.
- MagicalTrevor2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Uhm... actually not England-left drive cars. Still, in Europe.
- rockintom99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10victimofkratina:
Yes, because only *one* person is allowed to do stop motion. - darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11how about this, we ***** spam the ***** out of nyrol for such a retarded and hateful comment
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8ROCK ON! Seriously, now gawking comments yet? That must have been so much work and it came aout awesome.
This will be the first viral video I pass on to my friends. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8If you think stop motion animation is amazing go watch the original King Kong.
- Zique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, it's from Netherlands, one of the cars had a country of origin -tag with "NL" (= Netherlands) on it.
- bogomill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7One of the coolest things since "Neverhood".
- steveoco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Yeah man what have you done to make my day any more fun?
I salute the author for taking hours of his time to make minutes of mine that much brighter *salute* - cody50, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Ban him.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I don't know the exact method they did it but I imagine you could get the same effect by taping him walking, then in post editing out every step where he's not touching the ground with both feet. He'd have to walk a little funny though of course.
- senseigmg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7What a douche.
- gomerspile, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The music was really cool. Very creative use of stop motion. I figure 1500-2000 shots for something over 4.5 minutes long. A lot of ***** time spent for sure.
- creamy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Australian" is an ice cream shop. (it's true, I know)
- rritterson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8@gp120
Among the multitude of things you've excluded include the basics of astronomy, mathematics (Arabs invented arabic numerals, duh, as well as the concept of zero), and medicine. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Alot of the new dv cameras come with a stop motion feature that lets you take single shots with the press of a button, its pretty cool.
- BobbyOnions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's definitely in Holland, the number plates on the cards are very distinctive.
- Lingur, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Napoleon?
- RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@dickhedtracy
That would have been SO useful to a colleague and I about 7 years ago. We made a 9 minute claymation video that took us over 100 hours using a camcorder interfaced to Adobe Premiere (that loved to crash) through an (ISA) ATI TV tuner card. It turned out awesome but we went crazy a couple of times. - ratzfatz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Jelle van Dun made this movie in his hometown Breda, Netherland. Here is where he works for:

His own site seems to be off, but Google has some fragments left in its cache:

I'm sure we'll see more from him in the future. Good guy. - GuitaristTom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6um...wow, okay, im glad u just felt the need to make fun of peoples deaths for no reason. now u just sound like an idiot who has no wit whatsoever...
- drakonite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@climbon321:
My still camera will take far more consistant exposures than any consumer video camera I know of. It even has a feature specifically for taking a large number of shots with identical exposure settings. I think all new Canon cameras do.
..and wow, that video was cool. Reminds me of my life ;) - drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5and ..."wow! i didn't know that anything existed in the southern states other than hicks and burning *****.
i now know that they eat pecans ^.^"
Nyrol is a racist moron. Check out his "Commented On" section in his profile. nearly all of his comments are below threshold... - burgerboy06, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Thats Germany, no doubt, those crazy germans...
- rqwhitaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3where the hell is peter gabriel?
- kirakun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3wow, is that a real working atari 2600? (I think it's a 2600.)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That was...wow....this guy should get a medal or something....that was awesome.
- MagicalTrevor2, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10Definitely in England somewhere... probably Birmingham
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Then there would be a huge demand for clothes with ever increasing sizes ;).
- Bohica28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Its in the Netherlands for those who were wondering. The cars had dutch license plates, and those "chocolate break crumbs" as some of you call them, is a dutch treat usually eating at lunch. Basically its just chocolate sprinkles. They're called Hagelslag. I know all this because I am dutch =P
The video was awesome. It must of taken a lot of time to make something like that - jkeledgewood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3nice very nicy. digg it i must
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This really does deserve 2 diggs. And I don't usually say that. Kudos to the authors.
- seren8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you want to see something similar, and equally as cool, check out what I think is one of the coolest music videos ever..

The videogame vid is in some ways even cooler because it's so homebrew. Thanks for posting it. - drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I screwed up and posted this below... Nyrol said this regarding 9/11 in a different story...
"i would love to have seen 9/11 if there were escape pods......do you know how cool that would be to see a plane hit a building, and then all this ***** launching off of it? it would be one of the most spectacular scenes i have ever witnessed. i'm quite disappointed in 9/11 for not having escape pods. omg and instead of fireworks, they could launch these *****. "
Just thought I would let everyone see more of Nyrol's stupidity... -
