@NocturneSoul Hi. Sorry, it took me so long to reply. I lost your message in my inbox. OMG. I feel the exact same way... I can't go to sleep if I don't read something. I'm that addicted to books. I love bookstores; the air, the smell and the magic. It attracts me like anything. It feels like... Home. Books are very special. They're my gateway to another world. I don't know how I'll live without having books in my life... Books are real, like you said. Digital, not so much...

[raleighbermuda]

I just bought a bookstore 2 days ago.. and your beautiful video just made me cry a little bit.... So happy to be part of getting real actual page-turning books into the hands of readers! <3 Can't wait to visit your shop one day and be even more inspired.

[gavrojames]

i'm trying not to think about how much work went into this, but i cant

[arnikalm]

By the by.  Anytime you decide to do the Library of Congress, I volunteer.

[arnikalm]

@BestTonlistin I think JBiebersSwaggggg is stating that's it's "sick" meaning great! The terminology these days......

I absolutely love this video, I've only just found out about stop motion in the last few days.... (I know, where have I been?) and now I can't stop viewing them!! :-D

[chalochalo53]

Great! 

[Vissnia]

I love it, it's quite magical.

[JBiebersSwaggggg]

That's sick! 

[BestaTonlistin]

[littleointment]

awwww yay 

[drmikenyc]

Let me be the first: Congratulations! (Academy Award, 2 minutes ago.)

Yay...

[arejayseeottawa]

This reminds me of a Warner Brothers' cartoon from either the 30's or 40's, "How do we know it's Sunday," in which the characters on the labels of this general store come to life on a Sunday, when the store was closed! Anyway, as a retired bookseller, I really appreciate this beautiful video!

[madsiers]

Wow. 

[aria652]

Try doing this with a kindle! Yup. There's Nothing Quite Like a Real Book.

[bentbindings]

[brownreese]

This is so beautifully rendered. It makes me want to hug the books in my library. (Actually I already do that, but you get the drift). Thanks for what must have been endless hours producing this. The music is absolutely perfect. Bravo!

[TheAndromeda1111]

[banguichilli]

I appreciate my kindle when travelling around with a heavy rucksack but nothing beats a real book. I love filling my shelves with beautiful books. I love libraries and bookshops and if I didn't live on the other side of the globe I'd pop into your shop...magical animation!

[nikko106]

[Ca15Sa12]

[Blacklash2]

@Ca15Sa12

The people who can't read

[havewhatiwant]

Am crying in appreciation of the beauty of your creativity and your many efforts... thank you...

[Asselable]

[soyola1000]

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!

[RideReadWrite]

Oh, I LOVE this books are so magical!

[BeatriceVeres]

Awesome video !!

[Tovessonen]

If anyone would like some more stop-motion videos I have some on my channel. I appreciate every viewer I get :) If anyone want tips on how I did them or anything I'm more than glad to help you out!

Great video by the way!

[jeang287]

[misterstargazer]

Wow, I was amazed when I first saw this video, and I still get that breath-taking feeling every time I watch it. Congrats to everyone who helped make this video, you did a fantastic job! :)

[smacktard69]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, books!!!

[Valzoak]

Wow. 

[tinywolf1]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[TheShirEl]

@ crazedadman An ex-Torontoite friend just sent me this:

The article says, "We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking,

and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street

West, (416) 366-8973). "

Anyone who comes from Toronto knows that the lunatic asylum was at 999

Queen Street West.

A Toronto curse was to tell someone that they belonged at "nine ninety nine".

[only1cherai]

this is soo amazing i love the music it is just amazing , this video is amazing! it is so amazing i dont even have words to pute it in!!!!!!1

[alovelyladybird]

Amazing! So creative! Thank you for your work-- I keep watching it over and over and picking up on more and more details. I will definitely be paying a visit to Type books because of this, too!

[dawackzach]

Amazing. Good luck doing all of that with ebooks.

[tatagalvis]

Que lindo! :)

[susmatt590]

Loved this, loved the music. Books are special. Thanks for this treat.

[kulcuthbert1]

love the video and the music - amazing!

[wmb1861]

Fantastic video! I really enjoyed it!!!!

[preciouspain6]

my husband and i are avid book readers & collectors. this is totally awesome. keep up the good & fascinating videos

[taufikmarasabessy]

This deserves more views :(



[jandomain1]

This is incredible and beautiful and magical! I love it so much...... I hope it goes global for you and appears in cinemas, tv screens etc, because it is a cause I hold close to my heart. Long live books!

[myownplylst]

cool. i love it

[Abby09LK]

AWESOME! :O

[ardianworld]

Stunning. Absolutely stunning video!

[hpventura]

Congrats on this amazing video

[hanEatsPussy]

Real books are the best. The smell, the weight in your hands, the knowledge transmitting to your head with every page's turn! Ebooks just can't compete with that!

[TheCcliaa]

After they put so much work into making this video, I feel bad that all I can do is comment and fave. There really is nothing like a real book.

[BBbloodbrotherCCCX]

That must have been a lot of work.

[PannaPozytywka]

Love the music from 1.17 to the end. Magical and inspiring.

[cajree]

hi

Just saw this footage. Its amazing how evocative it is. We are a team of people in India who are working on an ad for a bookfair. We would like to incorporate this footage and will be delighted for it to be a part of our project.Is there anyway that we can try to connect with you ? Its a little urgent.Please get back to me as soon as possible. Regards Kajri Akhtar.

[MissTopKat]

Absolutely love it, I work in a bookshop and it made my heart sing to watch this :)

[JFolck]

A masterpiece!! Obra maestra! Felicidades congratulations

[theblackpanther555]

Does books on my shelves do that too? ;)

Wonderful idea to do such an animation. It had to take hours to do.

[Ihavthring]

"It was a pleasure to burn"

I can't imagine a world without books. i just not love to read but i LOVE books. This means a lot to me thank you guys for making it. Is artistic and entertaining.

[hopetherespudding]

this is truly magical <3

[arbaizapaints]

wow, this is great!

[blueninjafrog1]

You can't do that with an ebook, hmm?



[parchmentgirl]

This is amazing! The music is wonderful too. :)

[jozeksey]

This video is just so completely and uterelly pointless. You got a husband and wife instead of shagging all night long all they do is move books about just so they could create a video and pretend to be someone on youtube as they have a number of hits so they could feel "good" about their empty, pointless and worthless existence

[LittleMissLonely13]

@jozeksey then why watch it? Why not just leave and not waste your time leaving a comment? O.o

[kaylaConspriacy]

@jozeksey You obviously don't understand the concept of art and why people create it so you just comment to bring down those who do so you can feel "good" about your empty, pointless, and worthless existence.

Your words, not mine.

[rosy879]

I always wondered what books did at night.......lol.Loved the video, and it's true, there is nothing quite like a real book! I may just have to visit this bookstore now :D

[TheRodentwhisperer]

The music sounds like a cross between the music from "Beetlejuice" and "Amilie" :)

[HeatherZ32]

So whats everyones favourite books?

[ixat00]

"Yes, we have a lot of books here, it's a bookshop!"

[curiouscookie]
