My love of stop motion is ever lasting, but this [Olympus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/om-system-om3) stop motion is up there among my favorites.

The Olympus stop motion video used [60,000 photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revivifyai) to show a man walking through his entire life, from childhood to his senior years. The PEN story is a perfect way to show off the use of Olympus products, and is even better because it tells a super creative and fun story.

Take a look at this great Olympus stop motion video above.
