Personal: My husband is the awesomest

“In the many hours it takes to print 700 shirts front, then back, your mind wanders. The concept for this video was to have a time lapse of stils from my Nikon D700 shooting from a single location. But, as it turns out, the longer I printed, the more ideas I came up with, and the better I got at creating motion. Each night I would put together what I shot and although not an exciting job to print, per say, making the video kept poking my creative button. Stick around to the end of the video. I spent about 25hrs thinking up the grand conclusion. Special thanks to Tom Clark for helping one night. Special Special thanks to my wife Renee for cooking my dinners and keeping my Diet Mountain Dews flowing.” -Ben the awesomest. Check out www.binkshirts.com for more awesome.

That was fun. Good choice in music, and good use of the music in the video concept. Awesome!
