Watch a Building Animate Itself Like a Computer Screen
gizmodo.com: This building's animation might look like it's computer generated but it's actually done with good ol' fashioned human hands. Literally. People are inside each room and shut each window to create a building wall that looks like pixels.

I love this! Its also very fascinating to me what kind of effort must have gone into organizing this creation. Scripting out all the shots you need and then figuring out the language to communicate with your participants in an efficient manner must have been a challenge. I also really enjoy watching the trees and street in the foreground and the clouds moving in the background.
Although this animation is not live, it's a simple yet effective method of creating abstract animation for a building! This combination of stop motion animation and timelapse photography creates a surprisingly coherent series of motions. I enjoyed the incorporation of the humans in the windows as well. I dig the laptop sun shade box (good idea) and the fact that we got to see a little bit of the behind the scenes action at the end of the video.
This is pretty cool. I'm glad they showed a little bit in the video how they went about making this, I think it's more interesting seeing how much work and effort went into the project. I'd also be really interested in seeing all the prep work that goes into this.
This is quite fascinating. For such a short video the amount of time that was put into it must have been ridiculous, especially for stop animation. I wish there was more on how they made this. Seeing the entire process would have been interesting. I think projects like this that take planning but are simple and easily accomplished should be done more! Its fun, comes up with an interesting product, and inspires lots of creativity.

I really enjoyed watching what HESAV did. It is so amazing how human can generate any creative thing. When I first looked at the title only, I thought it was based on computer generated and already got excited since I am taking media for my mini. However, when I realized it was all hand created, I was surprised and shocked. I really want to say good job to those faculties, friends, and students who put a great effort. In terms of collaboration, I think it is amazing how every moment is well organized since it will require such great concentration and activity. I would love to participate any of those productions if given.
Woah that's pretty cool! It reminds me a lot of a part of the Beijing Olympics' Opening Ceremony where a large group of performers put on a show with large boards. Here, however, they took a pre-existing building and made it do some very ingenious things! It does simple tricks, but they're all so well-timed and fit together so well. It must have been a NIGHTMARE to get everyone to work together as one, but it was definitely worth it. I liked seeing the few glimpses behind the scenes that we were shown at the end of the video... I think it's funny that a lot of it was organized by a guy with a megaphone. Definitely super cool and impressive, and a good reminder that people are still capable of creating super precise shows, not just computers.
Animation such as these make me so happy. In a world where our toaster can tells us what temperature it is in Morocco, I find it refreshing to find things that seems to be highly technical but are in fact lacking in technology all together. Although it is important to push the limits of technology to the next level, it is also important that we preserve the things that can still amaze us with their simplicity and remind us not to over think things.
