Stop Motion… There’s good stop motion and there’s bad stop motion. And then there’s this video. Well just watch it, really, it’s a cool video. It’s a cool, mesmerizing video.

““Bad Apple!!” is a magical piece of stop-motion animation made from 6,566 still photos of printed bitmaps.

The creator, Nico Nico Douga user *** says he made the video without using photo-editing software. The images were captured with a webcam, and the effects were achieved by changing the camera position and adjusting the focus, brightness, zoom, exposure and gain.

The original stills and music come from this video for the song “Bad Apple!!” (arranged by Masayoshi Minoshima, featuring vocals by nomico) from the Touhou Project game series.”
