Google Streetview stop motion

Address is Approximate by Tom Jenkins tells the story of a lonely desk toy who goes on a road trip with Google streetview. I've watched this multiple times, and can't get enough. Beautiful and touching. [via]

I get immersed in this! Compelling, reflective, inspiring. Great work, passion…

Beautiful, painstaking work.

But, er, the sun sets at the end (in the west) so the shadow on R2D2 would move up, not down. Just saying.

This must have taken so much time to make!

I think the lighting on R2D2 is due to the sun emerging as the car rounds the hill, not due to sunset. That’s why it goes up, as the lamp emerges from behind the computer.

So typical, the black man serving the white man.

(just kidding…. really compelling piece)

I agree with Lee here too, I get totally caught up in stumbling on to new addresses and locations on Google (with Google Earth of course), just absolutely riveting!
