parkour motion reel — illustrated with technical pen, frame by frame. [slv]
Astonishing. It's great that in the age of CGI people are still doing this (and other sorts of) stop motion animation.

A friend passed along this video, which is similar in style.

Is the parkour the drawings or the awesome flow of her fingers doing the flip moves?

It's drawings of a guy "free running," often referred to by the sport's French name, "parkour."

I'm very impressed by the work that went into that video that I totally didn't enjoy watching.

Yeah. Both flip-book animations are ingenious, wonderful and playful, but they make my head hurt. I'm constantly decoding the way the picture is made. Which detracts from the story.

That's exactly what got to me too. Well said stonepharisee. I was so focused on the mechanism for creating the animation that I couldn't follow the animation. For me, the medium became the message to get all Marshall McLuhan about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't really follow the mechanics fast enough so I lost both the message and the medium.

The animation is really cool, too bad the video quality is so shit (interlaced and everything).

I've seen other examples of this kind of poor-man's animation. Is there a word for it?
