That's just awesome. Back when I had a VW bus, I disassembled it and did most maintenance myself - but never down to THAT level of detail. Especially, I had to spend around 40 bucks on new screws because I misplaced the old ones (or they broke off due to old age)

Where is the Reddit post of this? You're going to front page, for sure.

#13It took 2,500 photos and 4 days to shoot, followed by about 8 days of photoshopping & grading.
Beautiful! Are you planning on rebuilding it? Another shoot? Is there a reason you don't mark the parts original location or is that simply because you intend to replace them?

I'd never even heard of synthwave before I did spent 5 hours on Audio Jungle trying to find good music for this video. Now it's all I listen to while I'm coding.

The honest truth: This whole car is headed for the scrapyard at the end because it's not worth the extra time ($$$ per hour) while we film to mark parts, directions, alignments etc. I mark things when there's time. We're also modeling the whole thing in 3D and I'm sure the guys doing that will be mixing the bolts and fixings up. I'm kind of interested in how well it runs after this reckless teardown and rebuild.

#16Wait, this course is only $20? This seems like a lot of content for $20...
Really great video too

Absolutely superb. The patience involved, that's what I can't get over about stop-motion animation – the ability to see the big picture while you're inching along frame by frame. Incredible job, it really is. May as well put this here because it popped into my mind while watching your piece. You know, if we do move as a society from the internal combustion engine to the electric drive train something of great beauty,…
Thanks! The hardest thing is to try to remove multiple parts staggered over shots. Because the smallest distraction and you've forgotten which bolt you already turned and which needs to be turned more.

#19IMO what is really clever about this is that it is a "sales" video - except you dont realise you are being sold to until the end, by which time you've enjoyed the video so much, the pitch at the end is reasonable.
And you've shown what the value is long before I asked myself the question "how much" - which I usually ask early in the process - but not here.
At least that is how I found it... great work.
Would be interesting to see conversion figures for something like this.

#20Very cool.

I watched about 3/4 of these ^^ videos, really learned a lot about how a combustion engine works.
