Video #22253 · Practical Effect Sequence

Stop motion printer giveaway announcementfrom @behrpaint

[01]

Overview

The video uses a static overhead shot of a printer that sequentially prints out the words 'SWEEP STAKES', 'YOU', 'COULD', 'WIN', and '$5K' on a single piece of paper. The sequence ends with a hand using a paintbrush to swipe yellow paint across the final '$5K' text, creatively announcing a brand giveaway while tying in the physical paint product.
