When Brooklyn-based artist KAWS’s 18-foot-high ALONG THE WAY sculpture arrived at the Brooklyn Museum, its cartoonish wooden pair dismantled for transportation, filmmaker Danilo Lauria unfolded his tripod, adjusted his iPhone 6 accordingly, and started snapping. Lauria, who acts as Video Creative Director for Fusion, then arranged these images into this incredible Instagram video—a manual, frame-by-frame stop-motion, recording the piece-by-piece, three-day-long installation of KAWS’s toy-like giants. Once he was involved in the project, Lauria visited KAWS studio and “had a brief talk,” he tells The Creators Project. “I wanted to see the sculpture so he showed me a little and fragile version of it. I played with the figure a little [and] that was enough [for me to become attached] to the animation.” Lauria’s second video, the offshoot of this meet-cute, timelapses the transition of the sculpture from KAWS’s studio to the museum in “a little story about the concept of friendship.”A video posted by Frame + Frame (@danilolauria) on Jun 9, 2015 at 9:06am PDT
