The Apollo Mission Photos as a Stop Motion Journey to the Moon and Back

People are having fun remixing those 8,400 Apollo moon mission photos that were uploaded to Flickr last week. A couple of days ago, we shared a video that brought the photos to life with faux slow-motion that was added with Photoshop and After Effects.

The video above is another interesting remix. It’s the photo set turned into a 3-minute stop-motion video that shows the astronauts journey to the moon and back.

“I was looking through the Project Apollo Archive and at one point, I began clicking through a series of pics quickly and it looked like stop motion animation,” writes Vimeo user harrisonicus. “So, I decided to see what that would look like without me having to click through it.”

The video has since been selected as a Vimeo Staff pick and has attracted tens of thousands of views in a few short days.
