"Sinners" By Hypernova is a fluid stop-motion video created by Producer, Director and Director of Photography Richard Patterson. The video is unique in that its composed of 16,000 individual photographs. Scenes were lit with up to ten (10) state-of-the-art Profoto Pro 8a Air flash packs with Profoto Light Modifiers as principal light sources. The camera was a Canon 1D Mark III camera shooting at 10 FPS and a PRO Steadicam rig utilizing a RedRock Micro DSLR camera support system.

I'm not sure the frame rate makes enough of a difference here for all the work involved. The same effect could probably be easily achieved in post production of a normal video shoot

One thing he talks about, that would be much harder to do with video, would be the lighting. Doing the lighting they were with hot lights would have been very expensive, and probably unbearably hot.

That was cool. Thanks for posting the find.

Here's a cool one that's been floating around on vimeo.
