Paris At Night

I thoroughly enjoyed this stop motion expose of the beautiful city of Paris "composed completely of photographs" (per the artist, Luke Shepard). Amazingly well-executed. I found it very unique that it shows the "darker" side of Paris, as this was literally shot at night.

Le Flâneur (music by The XX) from Luke Shepard on Vimeo.


To that point, and not to play art critic here, but as much as I love "Intro" by the XX, I think either "Stars" or "Night Time" could have potentially worked even better with these images, as this project is showcasing Paris primarily after hours. The energy and build of Intro is incredible, don't get me wrong. I was just surprised to see that track paired with these images. There's such a raw and quiet and almost creepy quality with the XX's sound, I think another song maybe could have worked better (Even "Heart Skipped A Beat" or "Islands"). Just throwing it out there...
