Incredible stop-motion music video made from map pins and thread


The Made Shop created this masterpiece for Son Lux's "Change Is Everything," from their forthcoming album Bones.

"The first day we knocked out 535 frames (out of roughly 4,000)," director Nathan Johnson told NPR. "By day three, the pads of my fingers were so raw that it hurt to move a pin. I didn't know how I'd be able to keep going, but my wife, Katie found some rubber finger tips at Staples that helped dull the pain (though it also decreased our precision). We also didn't realize that the surface of the foam core board would be blown out by day four. We got to the point where the board was so pockmarked that the pins would randomly shoot out and fly across the studio every couple frames. After that, we stocked up on a few more boards and started wearing safety goggles."
