A different flip book (with a linear story)
I can’t stop watching this video: Between You and Me.
A friend recently bought the Canon EOS 20D. I tried its burst mode and was in seventh heaven. In this mode we could record at five frames per second (as opposed to film’s 24). We could shoot for about 12 seconds before the camera’s memory buffer would fill up, so our takes had to be really exact — no long, hypnotic shots. I did a series of tests beforehand to find the best setup …
We would shoot until the camera’s memory card filled up (1 GB — about 650 stills), and then we would take a break to transfer the pictures to our laptop….
Patryk Rebisz, 27, wrote about how he made the video (a fictional story) in Still Life, an article in Filmmaker magazine (summer 2005 issue).
There are more than 2,000 still photos in the video. Length: 5 min. Frame rate: 8 fps.
In an interview with ABC News, Rebisz said he was inspired by La Jetée, a 1962 French film made up of still black-and-white photos. (La Jetée was also credited as the inspiration for Terry Gilliam’s 1995 American feature film, Twelve Monkeys.)
Update: I think I found the video in dsato’s del.icio.us bookmarks.

I have been working on some still image based products for the last few months. I have a created a few prototypes and a couple of small films of my own photographic works.
This flip book style is an interesting approach that I hope to incorporate in the next interations.
