Stop motion - 60,000 snaps, 9,600 printed - three minutes of genius

Ok - it's an advert for the new Olympus PEN camera. But it's also an incredibly creative film, and anyone who has tried their hand at stop motion animation will appreciate the effort, skill and planning that went into the production.

An incredible 60,000 snaps taken, 9,600 printed and another 1,800 pictures shot again.

Seems to be partly inspired by Takeuchi Taijin's Wolf and Pig animation.

been looking at this cool gadget for a while

http://www.brinno.com/html/product02a.html

meant for garden use but could be use for any time lapse work...

Check out the videos on youtube - I think it automatically builds the video onto any usb stick you plug in.

Think its about 150 quid tho - if it was a bit cheaper i would prob buy it on a whim

A colleague has had some success with a similar garden camera - Wingscapes BirdCam - (you can see a timelapse demolition).
