Cheer on This 3D-Printed Stop-Motion Baby As it Runs All Over the World

Until today , there really was n’t a good reason for any sane human to buy a consumer 3-D printer . But thanks to animatorEran Amir , the technical school has a raison d’etre : So that everyone can 3D print midget baby sculptures anduse them to pip screaming timelapse videosof an albino baby sprinting around the world . It should have been so obvious all along .

In addition to design a serial of 3-D - printed babies that recreated a 13 - frame run cycle , Amir also had to design a special rig to hold up both a photographic camera , and the flyspeck sculptures in front of the lense . Every time a fresh picture was snapped in a slimly dissimilar locating , the next baby sculpture in the revivify series was swapped into physical body .

If it sounds tedious , it ’s because it most definitely was . you’re able to watch out a behind - the - view video of the process below , but as time - consuming as it was , the resulting hilarious footage clearly made it totally worth all the hassle .
