Walk Across America - Behind the Scenes

[luno44]

I wish I could do something like this. But I have a mortgage, full time job, bills...

[MusicoNapst]

Great Works !!!

[ceeeseo1]

I used to be able to walk across America, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[MonopolyBag]

Cool, good job guys. The final video was awesome! Good job.

[ThePlitka]

so much work for 1.54 long video ;D

[TheRamosOnline]

To those who called the video "Fake and Gay". Suck it :D

[SuperboyStudios]

What's the point in measuring the distance from the camera to the model? No auto focus?

[TheRamosOnline]

@SuperboyStudios So that he's the same distance from the camera in every shot, you silly boy :|

[MrLusciousmeat]

Wait, did the guy actually walk across America or did the crew just make it seem that way as they drove cross country? I'd think the physical journey would be more impressive, should have all done that.

[wesupportmokeyfaces]

did you guys actually walk the whole way or did you drive?

[KillerPanda1200]

@wesupportmokeyfaces Hahaha they drived! there's no way in hell someone's going to walk across America in 14 days :P didn't you hear the part about them sleeping in an RV?

[shadowmike34]

@KillerPanda1200 Drove*

[DemuPCGamer]

i feel for the future that ure gonna make awesome vids SO i subbed

[pantheraleo2001]

I just want to know what kind of camera was used to make this.

[pantheraleo2001]

[thatONEamerican12]

To ehh ...... Mt rushmoore. :| did you forget what state mt rushmoore was in buddy?

[butts3xy]

AMERICA!

[WhereAreMyChucks]

the guy looks like a barbie doll, he shouldnt have done that stupid smile

[Manadox97]

Somebody give me this guys phone or e-mail. I really do have to talk to him. His stuff is awesome.

[nuclearsun13]

awww i thought it was gonna be bout a guy actually walking across america

[RainbowBright25]

awesome job!! :D Luv it! and so inspirational, wanna do my own stop motion work!! Kuddos!

[TiTaan86]

love the music taste :D

[ArianRestelica]

you guys are awesome, nice work, true artwork !!!

[baddogonline]

Wonder if you could have greenscreened it?

[msmilkcake]

You guys should do a parallel to this one day - have a girl and make it go across the southern states. If you do, I'd volunteer!

[woKKEEN93215456]

What's the song?



[MYTigerK]

O YE@@@!!

[MYTigerK]

翻墙来看~实在是不容易啊。



[kpup1997]

Make another

[nellgoose]

I do stop motion and I can't even believe how tedious the process for this video was. Great work guys, sounds like an awesome trip you had and a fantastic video you made.

[Organimation]

i did a bit of stop motion myself. I gotta give props to these guys, it's a tedious, meticulous and often infuriating art. I'm still baffled at their continuity with his walking between locations. Great job!

[tiesto2637]

it is a really fun project to be done..



[LocoBonnie]

What font did you use? :P

[Cashmoneyification]

I am so impressed by your work guys!

This is one of the coolest stopmotion/timelapse-movie i have ever seen, and to be honest i don't think that anyone will be able to come up with anything near this.

Absolutely love it! :)

[061zgz]

@Cashmoneyification

Hi, do you know where can I find the song of the real spot please? Thanks!

[Spidermonkey960]

This is absolutely brilliant.... im into filmmaking and even i have made a few videos here and there. Lately i have been watchin many stop motion videos and this video.... its so good tht im actually demotivated... nice work.... kudos... but fuck u man ;)

[Gnomusy]

Huge work with outstanding results, one of a kind, guys you opened a new gate in the crowded media domain. Congrats!

[elipoop123]

@MrJay697 That's art man. A meticulous, monotonous, and often infuriating process to produce a beautiful result is what it's all about. Just look at the individual brush strokes on the Mona Lisa.

[JLF006]

It kinda spoils it knowing how this was done.

[sparrow2202]

@JLF006 that's why it is called a making of, idiot...don't look at it

[jmoney13000]

SOO GOOOD

[angeltimsss]

Great work guys... hi from Hong Kong :))))

[engelspopo]

Great work guys...hi from Germany ;)

[CROWPARTY]

we studied this in class, and then we went in deeper, and then deeper, and then deeper again; felt like INCEPTION but it was just Levi's dun dun dunnnnn

[glennjridge]

I had no idea this is how they did it. traveling by RV is the way to go though.

most of them have bathrooms,showers,stoves etc etc.

[killbilltwo]

Does anyone know what video camera they use to video tape this?

[sasukadanielle]

Cool

[amandaxoxray]

awesome concept and delivery

[Speirs90]

These guys are fucking awesome. Nuff' said.

[grkrocker89]

i dont know how anyone can dislike this

[7pinkstone7]

zepland pictures was here

[Aner1993]

I've heard about your video on the CNN... And that's enough ;) Great work!

[ricarfoto78]

espectacular... salud!!!

[abactom]

that's called a hackintosh n00b

[uzair21]

@abactom Could be a Mac Mini.

[deloxd3]

THEN DO IT AGAIN!!! ^_^ THUMBS UP!!!

[horizemog]

the video is excelent and thanks for the behind the scenes. i like time lapse and stop motion.

[horizemog]

[sooriginalful]

reminds meh of the buried life. especially the ending.

[potterscotter]

human spirit for the win

[zapznox]

lawl at 3:36 the dude on the left burns his hand

[LOLinfinity]

@MrNormino you can get a Mac computer that's basically just the square box like a PC has and get a regular computer screen to go with it.

[MattZimmer1]

Very cool. Inspirational. Curious, why not just use greenscreen? Add the backgrounds

[kremeztutorials]

@MattZimmer1 they could've done that. but how lame would that have been compared to what they actually did. the traveling, the bonding. a green screen cant do that, u know? so yeah =]

[Hajeh22]

Next stop, Russia

[ssoloness]

im gonna do the same thing across europe!

[MrNormino]

0:27 But the biggest challenge was...HOW did you get mac OS on a pc?!

[carrier2013]

@MrNormino That would be called a Mac Pro.

[MrNormino]

@carrier2013 I know whats a Mac Pro. But look at the CPU right next to the screen?

[carrier2013]

@MrNormino That's a Mac Pro.

[rob91Harvey]

Massively inspirational!

[MrHistoryhelp]

very good

[TheGodOfPegana]

The irony is it came out so good it might as well have been photoshopped.

[sbwsk8er]

was someone not allowed in nebraska?

[fancoldplay14]

Hey, you, the guys who create this masterpiece, THIS IS ART!!!, love your video, really, have you think about a part II, maybe in south america or all around the world? would be awesome, keep doing this

[fancoldplay14]

[realslimshadey1]

amazing...

[RastafariPoet]

Now have him walk through the pits of Hell!!

[BikerSopwith]

Great job! How about a sequel--L.A. or Seattle to Key West? Might be fun to watch him cross the Great Salt Lake and the Everglades. :)

[staphinfection]

Wow.... Lucky you happened to arrive in SF for the one sunny day of the year...

[itsmilcho]

model is good looking lol! great video too

[MySepiaSoul]

so he never really walked across america? hmmph

[winsomeadam]

incredible !

[8DoverNJ]

Fantastic!!  Excellent work guys!!

[EryMasters]

You are the man!!!

Brazil

[timbo92580]

awesome

[GoneGuru99]

I thought walk USA would be some against cancer walk thing, but i was wrong.

This is good I like this.

[nkmarks]

I didn't understand anything about how or why this project was made ... sorry ...

[Ragnaer]

@nkmarks for fun? :P

[nkmarks]

@Ragnaer

yes fun is good ...

But for me fun is better when it's connected with something like a social issue, something that improves the life for others as well ...

I can't see the purpose for wasting so much time and energy for this project ... I couldn't connect it with any meaningful purpose ... except of course for just ... fun ...

[Ragnaer]

@nkmarks Ah totally get what you are saying now. Did you like the 'where the hell is matt video' ? There was no point to that except for fun. Same things with commedians really. I understand what you are saying, but for some things the meaningful purpose is just to inspire, entertain, and make people happy. I think that's what this video does which is why I like it.

[deelajay]

@nkmarks lol it's a comercial, the meaningful purpose is to get people to buy jeans

[ilovegoth]

that was ok. too many dudes on the production though-gotta love that filmmaker sexism-NOT!

[eirik22]

soooo he didnt actually walk across the whole usa?

[soporing1]

5555555

[gaBehcuoDsuoitneterP]

Wranglers.

[seanrahe]

That was absolutely amazing. I loved it. Who says America doesn't have culture!! If you guys have any awards you're trying to receive, I'm sure there are many a person that would vote for you! Again, awesome video and thanks for sharing!

[TheSomethingclever]

Love the Utah film t-shirt at 2:45! Great Video ! Keep up the good work!

[RemyManiac]

Wow the turn out was fucking amazing.

[lynch4019]

Cool initiative idea guys, just wondering if the motor home hire company saw that last shot lol..David Lynch Jnr

[mcloufywalid]

greaaaaaaaaaaaat job, most amazing video i've ever seen

[FreeRadness]

Amazing. I applaud your planning, patients and creativity. Amazing.

[UniversalWhatnot]

Great job guys. The combo time-lapse stop-motion works really well, and the sheer elbow grease and ingenuity you put into each frame is admirable.

[vjm3]

Honestly I thought it was a low profile Levi's commercial. Simply because of the end where it zooms in on his ass, and the Levi's little red tag was one of the only elements that stood out from that shot. Impressive none the less.

[indianbtbox]

so obviously this guy was not walking acrossing america? EH ? so this is really screwed up. Levis and america and people celebrating such things.. quite stupid. but great effort in realising such an idea... especially the low tech. but i doubt all of it..

[gents4]

AMAZING WORK GUYS!

[JoshSpivey11]

The song is by The Temper Trap not Trapp

[edgalmeida]

Great work guys... hi from Portugal ;)

[yodoshow]

i love this video it is so inspirational video

[leenanarak]

Amazing!!!

[safman17]

Very cool!

[hectorniko]

Great job, see you guys in the red carpet. I hear Oscar knocking.

[imflnit]

dope vid

[alexstore1]

And I thought there was just 1 camera man and his friend... o.O WOW!

[thee1andonlyme]

this model has just become part of americas media history.this video will live on.

[MrFrankGrimey]

their responses even sounded meticulously planned.

[indianbtbox]

@MrFrankGrimey so do ppl not know that its an ad .. thats really stupid. i am concerned.

[MovieBoxStudio]

DAMN!!! omg =OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[jameseverest]

Two best jokes...."The Model"...."everything was meticulously planned"

[noturevrydayhero]

You guys are seriously an inspiration. I hope to do something like this someday. Thanks for making a behind the scenes video. It's incredible to see how you guys made this. I was dying to know how you made it!

[Rus78regionSpb]

Ха, чувак на 3.08-3.10 говорит "Охуительно!" :)

[ICKKCR]

this is awesome good job congratulations!

[Alexvent666666]

great work and enthusiasm!!

[33L11]

should send this to levis so they can use it for an ad :D

[o0smd0o]

@33L11

it's already a viral ad from them

[SupaKaream]

@33L11 It is an add for levis, lol.

[CrazyItalian992]

I love America

[LelandHendrix]

Thank you so much for doing this project and sharing it with all of us!!! :)

[Blooper1980]

Bravo! Bravo!.. I'm actually standing now! WOW

[aSignificanceBox]

[cows247]

do you think misteryguitarman could do this..??

[Stylizedplayer]

@cows247 Twice, every week

[SupaKaream]

@cows247 Not a chance.

[antonioaparicio1997]

@cows247 yes!

[jamesal]

@cows247 nah too much work

[cows247]

@jamesal lol

[TheKungFuProductions]

@cows247 If he did it, it would be around the world :D

[dmohninger]

Very creative and super inspiring. Way to stick to your guns and see this project complete. The outcome was just fabulous.

- Derek

[1211Chuck]

[swataflyy]

Wow, so much work!

[Drclhn]

i guess the model doesn't have a name

[MUR4DHD]

you guys awesome!

[bostonkalloway]

PROOF THAT AMERICA IS STILL GREAT & FREE!!!... good job guys!!:)

[cm115252]

Wow, these guys got to photograph Mike's ass for 3000 miles...how homoerotic.

[RawrNinjaBurgers]

wow dude i realy impressed!

it was perfect!

yeah i thought about something funny that will make some people mad but i just kidding:

all this work almost done! and a minute before u finish all the work the computer crashes and all the data goes to waste

it happend to me alot! lol ok... ok... do more stuff like this it was perfect =D

[blueknarf]

[NeedForMadnessSVK]

We want Mike to walk across other country :D

[shigow]

[pumasporvida]

[Yancox69]

[Danielk8586]

@Yancox69 you mean sign? :)

[jazevox]

cool. great job!

[MegaPrime300]

It's stop motion, of course. But if you don't know stop motion by now, then your a dumbass. This was an amazing project. And it DID turn out great.

[hustqxl]

你们没城管维持国家秩序啊？到处乱跑，出问题谁个负责？好玩是好­玩，要注意安全啊。

[hustqxl]

Real walk?It's true?You guys don't have a temporary residence permits in other cities? Why?

[ScarsonFilms]

All you guys are amazing, you inspire me to become a more creative director, thank you so much! Keep up the creative genius ideas! :)

[casadejoey]

You guys are such legends. I'd love to get involved with this sorta of stuff (though I'm not that talented).

But out of curiosity, what is your next project?

[BreezyMedia]

Nice! 

[lexxypexxy]

Contrary to what people are saying below, I actually like this vid more than the original version. I guess it has to do with them explaining what they did and how they did it. They're professionals that's why they sound "pretentious".

[DontBelieveJack]

you guys always put the best soundtracks to a video. love it!

[Bartolica94]

@SolidGold1980 haah

[BestPrankCaller]

@SolidGold1980 with a nice big ass

[Caaasio]

@SolidGold1980 amen 2 that brother

[cheesy567]
