So this is what I always imagined videos should be when (a very long time ago) I watched MTV– even or especially when watching Metallica and the unfortunately unwatchable Lars Ulrich not to mention all that doom-and-gloom imagery of discontent and angst. I never imagined it would require one guy in one room with more than 4,085 photos and 400 wooden blocks. Bravo, Rogier. (Thanks for sending it to me.)

/ December 7, 2011really cool video. I like the wooden children blocks approach. It gives the whole something authentic instead of animating it with computer graphics. It’s a lot more work but feels more authentic in the end. Well done!
