Stop Motion Video: Man Walks From NY to SF

2 comments

Ever wonder what it would be like to walk across America, Forrest Gump-style? Well, one man did it - all the while documenting his trip in a stop-motion video - and the results are pretty damn rad. The wanderluster is named "Mike" (yeah, we're kinda wondering who he is. Mike if you are out there, let us know?? comment below? sweet. ) walks from New York to San Francisco - the jovial tune "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (you know, the crazy gypsy wanderluster musicians who we recently interviewed drawing fantastical portraits of eachother?)

The video gives you a bird's eye perspective into his inspiring journey from the East coast, through the great plains of the Midwest, onto the bright lights of Vegas to his final destination- the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. Check it out:

FYI: They used 2700+ photographs to complete this flic and they mapped out their journey here.

“ Wow, I was thinking of hiking the Appalachian way, but nothing of this magnitude! I just love it when ordinary humans do extraordinary things like Justin's music. ”

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Interview with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

“ Must read book: "Bad Kitty!" It's a Teenage Murder Mystery type of book, but -- strangely the heroine in it is "attractive to cats". HER words, not mine. So YOUR Superpower would be . . attractive to musicians. ROCKIN' BAND! LOVE the M. ZEROS!! Am I a ZERO-ETE? And I thing Fans are just called mild "enthusiasts" -- except for the screaming and bodily throwing of oneself. At the object of celebre. MAGNETIC . . though I run screaming from Hippies (am from upstate New York, I mean COME-ON . . ) I find the big hairy lead singer guy oddly attractive, gamine, nice, intellegent, AND dare I say it? HAWT! And yes I might like to go the extra ten miles (down the road and around the barn) to the local co-op, to pick up some wheat germ with him, to put on our cereal. YUM! ”

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Interview with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

“ Wow! I'd LOVE to work with that BAND! The Hippy Folk Art (that they ALL knew how to do REALLY WELL) . .ya just KNOW they gotta have GROWN UP in a COMMUNE or something. Ah . . the days back at the ol' commune . . . ; ) Seriously though, the woman's voice is raw and wonderful. I think I can ape a little whiskey smoked bluegrass country. OR haunted country -- just change the venue to an empty old saloon or something . .a place with just the right kinda echos. THEN the country would be DAMN haunted! Happy B-DAY JT. Many a man of the Beard set -- Blue Beard, Black Beard, and whatever that patchy crap you guys start OUT with when you're like 16 --they TOO get the itchy-fides. Heck, my legs itch an' get all dry just if I haven't shaved (my legs; girl here!) in a few days. I can only IMAGINE a full-on BEARD. Seriously, just a nice patchouli oil moisturizer on the ol' puss face and it'll all be good as new. And it'll attract MUSICIANS. HIPPY musicians for God's sake! Just look at what you got just flashin' your beard out at the M. ZEROS. Of musicians . . you even attracted GOOD ones, TOO! KEEP the BEARD! : ) ”
