Fantastic video turns Post-it Notes into pixels
Savannah College of Art and Design student Bang-yao Liu was worried about deadlines, the inspiration for this brilliant stop-motion video.
"Every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those Post-it notes and deadline. I manipulated the Post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion, and there are some interactions between real actor and Post-its."
The poor guy must dream in Post-it notes. How did he make this video? The answer shows you why he was so worried about deadlines. Before you watch this "making-of" clip, see if you can guess how it was done:

hmm for someone so worried about his deadlines he sure did waste a lot of time making this. it is pretty cool though but seems ironic

Awesome project!
I would assume that this was done as a school project, not just for fun, especially seeing as he went to SCAD, and he gives credit to his advisor at the end.

Very impressive! I hope this gets submitted to the appropriate animation festivals. It deserves an award.

I can't help but feel that all this could have been done with a bare wall, a grid of white stickies, and After Effects.
hmmmmmmm................

@montezum and anonymous... he could have just posted his flash versioin of it, but that isn't the medium he wanted to use for his final project. I think it is incredible that it came out so well using all of the multicolored post-its!
