Why a Filmmaker Organized Instagram Photos to Create a Stop-motion Video
Now the family album doesn’t only come out during the holidays, it is automatically cross-posted to Twitter and Facebook. Everyone is constantly updating and curating their family album through their online persona.
In many ways, Instagram and other photo sharing social networks have replaced the dusty family photo album that used to sit in the closet at home.
Filmmaker Thomas Jullien browsed through Instagram and decided to “create structure out of the chaos.” He pieced together a seamless stop-motion animation of 852 pictures from 852 different users ranging from famous landmarks to popsicles.
