Deadline – Post-It Stop Motion



Art student Bang-yao Liu create this for his senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. It took him and his team 3 month of planning, 4 days of shooting, and over 6,000 post it notes.

Artist statement: “My idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.”

The people of at post-it notes should pay this guy for all the free branding they’re getting. Also Ashton Kutcher twittered about “Deadline” here and here. “when ever I see stuff like that I’m humbled by the collective creativity of people. thnx Bang-Yao Liu you inspire me”

The stop motion effect reminds us of the Bruce Lee vs Iron Man video

Lyrics for Surrogate Valentine

I was the next to wait in line

to be your surrogate valentine

I took a number and it started with 9

and ended in letters I couldn’t define

I’m going away so you can be

and you can think about it

going away so you can breathe

and it brings me to my knees

and I will run away reluctantly

so think about it

I hope you’ll feel the same

I wish that I could change my face

tailor it more to your tastes

I wish that I could face this change

and I know you got alot on your proverbial plate

my lovely mona lisa is there room in your frame?

Like a newspaper boat I’ll be floating in place

to the sea

I’m running in place and you can see

there’s nothing you can do about it

Run out of breath and lose the beat

it brings me to my knees

and I will float away reluctantly

so think about it

hope you feel the same

You can be the magnet

and I’ll be the iron

you’re drawing me closer

like a sailor to the sirens

and I don’t ever want to knock you

off your course

unless I’m knocking you over

to me of course

cuz I was the next to wait in line

to be your surrogate valentine…
