um, this is AMAZING!
When Morgan and Mason McGrew were just 15 and 12 years-old, they decided that they were going to re-create their favorite animated movie in real life, Toy Story 3. Well, they completed what they went out to do. The brothers re-created the famous Pixar animation film with real toys, people and sets using the stop-motion animation technique and it took them EIGHT YEARS to complete. In an interview with No Film School, Morgan revealed the detail that would go into their filming process.
"To create scenes, we would have the film on our computers and calculate the math to find out how many seconds each shot was. Then we would estimate the number of frames needed for the stop motion if stop motion was to be used for that shot. For many of the shots we would cue up the animated movie and arrow over frame by frame to make sure our version matched.
Unreal.
They said that it could take upwards of 8 hours to film just a couple of seconds of film, but considering the amount of detail that went into every character's movement and expression, it was worth it! The boys debuted their film earlier this year and it has already acclimated 2.5 million views.
