As you might guess, the video above is not a true video. Rather it's made up of almost 1,000 photos taken by 38 pinhole matchbox cameras. Depicted is a busy street in Belem, Brazil. constructing this narrative out of still photos is an amazing feat, and I get a feel for the social rhythm of the city as well. Also, drums!

It is pretty remarkable to see these pictures shown in sequence and they do have a definite rhythm, reinforced (unsurprisingly) by the percussion. It's a bit like watching a stop-motion slice of South American life.
That it was made by using such small pinhole cameras is wild.
South America does seem to have its own rhythm, its own vibe, and it's brought forth very evocatively in this. Certainly the percussion adds to the feel. It's very impressive that it was filmed on the little pinhole cameras, but I think that also adds to the impression of a social world in motion.
