What the best way to reach something similiar like this?

[etrust]

Hi Guys,

I think they shot 1000-1500 pics to reach this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghPcYqn0p4Y&feature=related

Is there for example a After Effects Plug in to be able to get this art of videoclip?

I'm thinking to do it like this:

1) I put my Canon 7D not to Movie Mode, i put it to foto mode and make 5-6 pics per second for the complete song.
2) print 1000-1500 pics to paper
3) make a video of someone putting the pics on the table until there is no more pic

Hum... I don't know..

Help me to find a better solution.

Thanks!!

If you are on a tight materials budget you could try to make a stack of white bordered paper with green and blue screen on it and then composite the images onto the stock in photoshop. You wouldn't need more than 50 to make a good size stack.

I wouldn't go through the whole thing in one spot try to create some variety like the original spot.

Something like this is developed in testing. Do a 10 second version to get a rhythm for it, figure out your frame rates and so on. If you opted to go with composite images rather than actual prints you could extract images from full motion to make the shooting easier. Set a high shutter speed to minimize blur. Even if you do make prints you may want to go this route for the original shoot. Do a traditional shoot and edit for proper timing, then extract frames at your desired frame rate, probably 6-12 frames per second, make your prints and animate.
