how'd you make this? You filmed yourself walking in a circle on your bed. Then you cut frames out to make it look pixilated. then how did you manage to get 4 of you there ? Message me on youtube.

Nope-- it's a true pixilation, an 18-frame loop stepping around the bed. I overlayed the original, 72-frame loop on top of itself four times at regular intervals to get four guys in the frame at once. I sortof divided the path of the walk into four regions, closely considering the effect of the feet on the sheets, shadows on the wall, and overlapping bodies. Then I cut out each figure in Photoshop and layered them appropriately, animating them in a loop in AfterEffects.

Looks like a test for a horror film. Or perpetual motion.
