good rhythm, and also, it s exactly 90 seconds, which for me is the ideal length of a youtube video. i used my sister and my brother and my friends. it s so perfect that it s really hard to understand how the little picture on the inside could be so smooth and pretty while everything else is flashing really quickly. people don t know if it s fake or if it s real, and if it s real, it has an insane amount of work in it. the first thought is that he must be using some kind of digital trickery to put his music video inside the pictures. not this time. as it turns out, he shot the black-and-white movie. then he had it divided up and turned into still frames. so, let s do the math here. amir took his 100-second music video and chopped it up into more than 2,000 continuous still photos that he then took to a printer for hard copies. i got the pictures back. what i got back was a giant box
weighing in at almost 20 kilograms, which was almost $1,000 before even knowing if this is going to work. then for the first time, i understood how much work i have ahead of me. no kidding. then amir had to go out and get 500 people to hold up each one of his 500 pictures in the same position in order. the first two days i went out to the streets of jerusalem, and i came back with nothing. i didn t have even enough courage to ask anybody. and then after two days, i said to myself, well, i m too deep in this, i spent thousands of shekels on it, i have no choice, i have to do it. part of the magic is knowing that there are actually 500 different faces there. that s 500 different people, and that s sort of amazing. having people actually holding the frames, it gives a kind of analog charm or an
digitally and not physically, it would be less enchanting because part of the magic is the fact that somebody actually did all of that. so many photos. you want to talk photos, meet israeli filmmaker iran amir. this idea kind of popped in my head. from the moment i thought about it, i knew i would have to make it. amir calls his video 500 people in 100 seconds. and what is that, a movie in their hands? this is a great, great video. you ve got all these people being photographed and then there s a whole scene going on within the photograph that they re holding and you re looking at the people, but you re also looking at the video that they re holding. this video was made in two parts. the first part making the music video was easy. when i heard the song, i knew immediately this is the song i m going to use. it have a catchy tune and it s good rhythm.
