The joy of books

January 15th, 2012 at 10:16 pm.

It all started with this first video. Sean Ohlenkamp and Lisa Blonder Ohlenkamp decided to organize their bookcase. Then things more or less got out of hand.

More recently they spent a few sleepless nights moving, stacking, animating, shelving and re-shelving books at Type Books in Toronto.

The result is a wonderful stop-motion animation that just makes you want to visit a bookstore and pick up a couple of books. Or is that just me?

    I keep seeing that second video popping up but I hadn’t taken the time to watch it yet (and I’m so glad I waited until now because the first video explains a lot, so thanks for that). So unbelievably charming! I can’t imagine the time it must’ve taken!

      Isn’t it just? I think the team of stackers and re-stackers must’ve been pretty enormous. A wonderful result though.
