Stop Motion Musical Tours Through a City and a School

Photographer and director Greg Jardin made this creative music video for the song “New York City” by Joey Ramone. It’s a stop-motion video that features 115 people (some of them random pedestrians yanked off the street) traveling backwards through various locations in New York City.

Inspired by Jardin’s video, another photographer named Kevin C. decided to create a similar video for his high school. Kevin’s video was shot using a Canon T3 DSLR:

The video features 140 students and faculty at the Hunter College High School. A total of 1991 photographs were shot and then turned into an 8fps video.
