FIRST 7x7x7 Stop Motion!

This is legitimately THE first 7x7x7 stop motion video.

You can watch the time stamp on the bottom left corner of the video to understand just how long this process was. Its not flawless, but c'mon, can you do this flawlessly?!

I started at 7:55pm Saturday night, and finished at 2:55 am Sunday morning; that's 7 hours!

There are about 2786 pictures!

@thedarkrogue Your expectations for a stop motion are ridiculous. This video took me 7 straight hours, each turn taking 5 pictures. When YOU can make something better, post it as a response. Until then, keep your comments to yourself. You're nothing but a troll and annoying noob.

That was mesmerizingly enjoyable to watch.

Also, that didn't look like (normal) reduction. What method did you use?

[Jonowl]

@Phlippieskezer Thank you :D

I solved the centers first, then used the typical 3x3 reduction for the sides of the bottom, and then used the cage method to place each edge piece after that except the 5th and 6th edges (to correctly orient all the top edges), then used 3 algorithms to properly orient the 5th and 6th layer edges (2 are just reverse of each other, and 1 is the parity algorithm).

that had to take forever!

[Jonowl]

7 long hours, nonstop. So worth it though.

@thedarkrouge Constructive? If you can give some advice as to how to improve the smoothness, then please do share. Otherwise, its not a constructive comment, its just judgmental.

It looks like it's dancing to the music. :)

[svderubiks]

I don't even wanna know how many frames you used for that.......

@thedarkrouge true, i'm meticulous like that myself.....welding might be a fitting career for you, plus if you're an artist you can weld sculptures, plus it's good to have a career that you can fall back on....that's what makes welding so great, it's not some career that you slave over, you have many job opportunities across the world and you can pick and choose, or just take a break whenever you want (well not during a job you picked of course)

@thedarkrouge dude you try taking 2,786 pictures....to take a photo for every slight turn would triple the amount of photos needed....instead he would turn each piece to where the corner would pass by about 2 squares....excuse him for not wasting a few days on it!
