This advertisement from Olympus for their new, small, DSLR-style camera is pretty cool, and surprisingly engaging.

Song by Michael Kadelbach is available for free.


Of course there is the whole ‘controversy’ around the fact that the were ‘inspired’ by the ‘original’ idea from a Japanese artist. Clearly the Olympus ad was heavily influenced, and they should have given the guy some credit beyond the “Thanks to all the stop motion artists who inspired us”.

None-the-less, a really cool video, which they shot 60,000 images for, and used 9,600 prints!

And then there is Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie as well.
