An Instagram Short Film
Some of you might remember the first ever video created with Instagram "The Plastics Revolution – Invasión" and some of you who are curious enough to follow TED speeches might remember Blaise Aguera y Arcas speaking about Photosynth - a photo-visualiser using a crowd-sourcing photography from sources like Flickr. Here is a merge of both ideas. As Instagram has its own engine to give access to photos so French director Thomas Jullien made each image a little less ordinary, by weaving hundreds of these similar images together to create a stop-motion video. Jullien aimed to “create structure out of chaos”, and he does so beautifully with 852 different pictures from 852 Instagram users.
