34x34 Stop Motion Assembly (Full)

Shoutout to my friend Gavin for slaying at improv piano!!
The 34x34 is a one-of-a-kind, 3d printed Rubik's Cube with 6939 pieces. To make this stop motion I placed each piece one by one, taking a picture after placing each piece. Would you believe it only took 3 months!?

[@THEL05]

Not only did ha assembled a gigantic cube, but he did it using a different pattern for each side and recording frame by frame. That’s gotta be one of the longest process ever…

man this brings me back to late 2000's with this style. really fantastic job, both you and the pianist.

[@TheOneWhoAskedForYourOpinion]

I was gonna click off thinking "this is boring". But seeing the effort made me think "Fuck it, I got nothing better to do and this guy needs to get the algorithm" so I proceeded to watch the whole thing, just to make sure he gets the watchtime and so the algorithm really blesses this guy. Highest effort video I've seen in over 6 months.

[@guillermo_yebra]

Also the music was dope. I really liked it all!

[@bloob1734]

I did think it was extremely high effort for a single bit in a video

[@TyperMarlinGames]

If this guy is insane enough to make a 34x34 cube by himself, surely he is insane enough to make an entire stop motion segment that only takes up a few seconds of a video.

You could actually make animations with this cube. Set up the image, take a photo and then change it slightly. It would only take a year or two for a 5 minute feature.

[@JackWest-100]

The editing time required... also, what is the thinnest piece used in the build?

[@gennydiehl111]

OG youtube vibes i love it

[@soranuareane]

This is a wonderful video. I do have some advice though from having tried (and failed) to do stop motion! You'll want to anchor the frame to the supporting structure (the table, in this case). This is typically done with pegs, rods, or wires, but for this particular object I suggest having a shallow tray that the frame slots into and rigidly attaching that frame to the table. This will help mitigate accidental shifting caused by bumping the table or the object. By the very nature of stop motion, detecting these shifts is difficult and correcting them is a nightmare (which is what caused my attempts to fail). I'm not sure what your process is and if it includes frame review. When doing stop-motion for film, after every couple shots the animator watches the last several frames on repeat, played back at the final render speed (20fps, 24fps, 30fps). This helps catch shifts and nudges and allows you to correct them without undoing too much work. Anyway, all-in-all, this is incredible and must have been a huge time investment. Kudos for getting the lighting and angles consistent enough to give the illusion of motion.

the fact 34x34 = 1156 is insane that’s 1156 x 6 so you get 6,934 PIECES The biggest left I’ve build was almost 4000. I cannot imagine how long that took. And there are more pieces inside! You also had to design the whole thing! This is amazing! Good job!

[@rikeverglade6429]

[@GrahamSiggins]

So impressive how you assembled all the segments in varying patterns just to keep the video interesting. I am sure that must've made things so much more difficult than just assembling in the most stable configuration for every face. Sheesh lol

How are the pieces attached and how did you get the last pieces in place??

[@aimonishe]

It seems to me that it needs to be polished to make its surface glossy and get rid of the waves that a 3d printer creates when printing. I believe that this way it will have a more complete look. (and I also just hate this 3d printer effect, which makes the surface of the part look kind of wavy)
