'Address Is Approximate' is a short stop motion video by The Theory. Recently nominated for a Vimeo award in the animation category, Director Tom Jenkins shows how you can go on the adventure of a lifetime without ever leaving home.
It all starts with an action figure that comes to life and decides to use Google Maps Street View to simulate what it would be like to take a road trip down to the Pacific Coast to watch the sunset. The touching tale ends with him at his final destination, basking in the twilight.
Complementary to the touching tale, the music used really enhances the mood Jenkins set out to create. Cinematic Orchestra provided the tune, which is aptly named 'Arrival of the Birds.'
It's amazing that all you need to create something as magical as this is a Canon 5D Mkll, some software and a few really talented people.
