As far as I'm aware this is the first 4x4 self-solving Rubik Cube stop frame animation on YouTube and the Internet, enjoy! Music is 'Green Hornet' by Al Hirt.

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many views and so much feedback; I would just like to thank everyone who has watch and enjoyed the video and to let you know that I'm currently making another video, not stop motion but still involving a Rubik cube.

To answer a few questions that has arisen in peoples comments.

* The method I use to solve this cube is slightly strange. I place the top and bottom middles first (front and back in video), place then orientate all eight corners and move in the top and bottom edges. Then I move the remaining edges into position and move around the middles. (I have since leant/discovered some new moves and can solve it much faster, although it's still takes 4 minutes).

* The clock was left there intentionally, to prove that I didn't cheat and for your amusement on how much time was spent on a three minute video.

* I took 4 shots/frames per move.

* It took 5 hours and 10 minutes for the filming spread over 2 days as follows: 2:49 Saturday evening (then batteries in camera ran out), 40 mins Sunday morning and 1:41 on Sunday afternoon. A further hour was spent making it all into a video and getting very annoyed with windows movie maker.

I hope that clarifies things.
