I’m always mesmerized by stop motion animation, and this is one of the best examples I’ve seen.

“Bad Apple” was made using more than 6000 pieces of paper, shot in rapid-fire sequence for almost four minutes. I hate to imagine how much work it must have taken to painstakingly assemble the images, but the result is definitely worth it.

I almost didn’t mind enduring almost four minutes of mind-numbingly awful anime-style Japanese music. Almost.

It’s worth taking a little time and watching right to the end of this animated short, but you may want to turn off your speakers before you do!
