A couple weeks ago, one of the paste-up tables here at work was filled with hundreds of t-shirts. They were mostly identical, except that each one had a slightly different stencil on it, and some had the bottoms removed or a hole punched in them. I've been curious what they were doing.
It turns out that they were making a stop-motion, flipbook-style commercial for Erberts and Gerberts. Each frame of the video is on a seperate t-shirt, and the model wore each t-shirt successively, filmed by a normal mini-dv camera. When the video is digitally sped up, you get a nifty animation.
The folks who were working on this were cool enough to film the whole process of making the video. You can see the production process and maybe spend a weekend making a stop motion video of your own.
