Link of the Day

Gagnam Style flipbook

Remember the 2012 anthem "Gagnam Style?" The uniquely self-parodying K-Pop hit that was everywhere (including a terrific marching band cover) before it was displaced a song about talking foxes?

Someone created a flipbook version of the "Gagnam Style" video, frame by frame. That's right: EACH frame of the video has been recreated by hand.

That is some serious commitment. Sure, it's not everything in the frame but I'm certainly not signing up to draw that much. How many flipbooks/pads did the artist go through to make that four-minute video? Crazy.

(Side note: for those who want to compare the flipbook video to the official video, here is the link.)
