MORE - Stop Motion Animation by Hunter College High School

[@gypy416]

I'm not associated with HCHS in any way, but I stumbled on this video a decade ago and I still return every now and then. Just a delightful little project set to a delightful little tune.

[@shubarajagopal2720]

Our teachers showed this video to us in official. I’m proud to be a Hunterite. 👌👌👌👌

[@KChiuCinematography]

Keep the magic going over there!

[@stevehofstetter]

I'm class of 1997, and I love this. Way to go.

[@KChiuCinematography]

Hey there - this took two months to put together - one month for planning and organizing and one month for shooting!

[@reese9624]

I'm in the class of 2023, and this honestly brings tears to my eyes to watch. All of the same hallways, lockers, classrooms, but totally different faces than what I know. Very cool!

[@jdsorgenkinder1261]

Class of 2015! I love coming back to this video from time to time and seeing all the familiar faces, even though I've graduated from college already - I get so nostalgic.

[@sourfar]

god, 11 years ago. love seeing how different the fashion and school was. this is amazing!

[@macaroni459]

As a 2008 HCHS alum, I must say that this video is phenomenal and consistently brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it (yes, I watch it periodically). I still regard my time at Hunter as perhaps the best time of my life (I am, in fact, an elementary/high school "lifer", as they call it) and never miss a chance to boast about what an incredible school it was (and clearly still is)! So glad to get a glimpse into Hunter's present and see it still flourishing. Thank you so much for this video!

[@herbs4135]

Just graduated from Hunter, and came back to this video. It’s been barely 2 weeks and it already makes me emotional. To think I was so ready to leave until it was over… There were ups and downs but it was such a wonderful place

[@KChiuCinematography]

Having the people in the rhythm of that space for so many years has always been what made it so special - totally remember what you mean when I graduated in 2013! Congrats to graduating this year and hope you and those close to you find ways to keep in touch even past those walls!

[@bradrinehart1992]

I'm class of 1980, back when we were on the 13th and 14th floor of an office building near Grand Central Station. .this is beyond words amazing....I am choked up with emotion. What's the

[@andresballer03]

I think the best part of this video isnt the quality, the idea or the originality. The best part is how accurately its portrays the population of our school. People of varying countries, races, ethnicities, religious and political beliefs, sexual orientations, age, etc. worked together to produce something as beautiful as this. Thats not an opportunity everyone in the world has, and it'll definitely be one of the biggest reasons ill miss Hunter next year.

[@MaudeLechner]

So glad I'm finally in the high school!

[@curlyaly1]

my son is graduating this year and this made me cry. Hunter teachers and his friends have made my son a wonderful person!

[@Gaz66d]

Lacrosse girl shared on imgur, I'm blown away, this was a bold project and it came together nicely. Made me smile made me wow, made me "how did they do that?" at least twice. great vid. Props to the entire school for their part in this.

[@nickadelcore]

thank the girl with the lacrosse stick for bringing the Imgurians here!!! Awesome job, this is so cool!!

[@Hedge.Knight]

As a former film student, there's nothing like having your hard work seen.

[@christopherdecker2558]

This is fantastic. We just featured this on our DigitalSports web site as the School Spirit Video of the Week. Great job by all involved!

[@kurodoku1998]

The jackets made this this look 10x more cooler and have a whole lot more meaning, lol

[@harikays1992]

That girl with the lacrosse stick sent me here from Imgur. Glad she did. Great job mate!

[@VishalPatel-ow4lm]

It's our video of the week! Watched it at least half a dozen times by now.

[@julieschubert3398]

At least the giraffe sent me somewhere good this time. Keep up the awesome work!

[@thericher]

Read the description on Reddit and thought "oh no this is going to be boring" and I was bored so clicked on it. But it was really good, catchy tune and an interesting video. Thanks

[@EricCharlesDills]

This is superbly creative! IMPRESSIVE! I love how you captured high school youth with such an inspirational tone.

[@urbancaterpillar]

this made me smile. so nostalgic right now! always a hunter kid.

[@KChiuCinematography]

Those are kind words, thank you so much. Indeed Quicktime was critical to making this happen! This was an individual work I decided to make as a graduation project - figured the best way to leave would be to create something that will help keep us anchored to a community that has done wonders for all who've participated.

[@LiaHeintjes77]

Love and miss Hunter so much!

[@AkaAloo]

Thanks imgur for bringing me here :) And thanks to Kevin for the awesome video! And the excellent choice for the song!

[@linsibowers1108]

This was amazing, came here because of Imgur and couldn't be more impressed. Well done!

[@GreyWo1fz]

I cannot stress how much I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE with this video. congrads to who ever was in this and I hope you don't stop here

[@brattingprincess]

Thanks again Kevin Chiu for making this video. I'm definitely going to go visit after spring break. - an alum

[@DastardlyNYC]

I've had artwork from SanG's class in my room for 9 years now, but THIS is the ultimate Hunter posterity piece.

[@ulluh]

I was sent here by imgur, but I stayed for the awesome video. You sir, have true talent.

[@amandab73]

There are seasoned filmmakers that couldn't have made a video in this format as entertaining to watch as this was. You should be really proud. Keep on!

[@Forkular]

I think this has to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

[@theinfinitebabbler]

Kevin this video is absolutely stunning!!! I can't stop watching it

[@leopoldbuttersstoch]

its incredibly refreshing to see high school students that ACTUALLY look like high school students. clean, young, innocent. and awesome work! this made me very happy (:

[@RabidRosicky]

This is great! much love from Birmingham, England!

[@nickhansbauer]

This is beautiful in so many different ways!

[@BradleyMcDermid]

[@ming3627]

[@PiePlai]

I can't comprehend how awesome this is... So i'll just continue watching it over and over again

[@KChiuCinematography]

Imgur - your giraffe migration is really making our day - thank you for stopping by!

[@Pandarmoniummm]

SO well done. You obviously put a lot of work into this and it shows. Keep up the good work!

[@LexaLite]

Was looking for an official video for this song, was so glad to find this it put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Great Job!

[@swanmonkeyastronaut]

Wow, great stuff! And I like the song, will definitely check out the band. :) I am also perplexed by the attractiveness of everyone in this video, but maybe it's just because they all look happy.

[@suredunno]

This is STILL so amazing, and cheers to Cheers Elephant!

[@Hoowitz]

Simple amazing work, its awesome to see you bring out what the high school spirit should be all about. Each and every one of those 140 students will leave high school remember for the rest of your lives what you did here. Wicked job Kevin and friends!

[@JonathanJFrantz]

This took so much time and work and it even turned out great. I truly appreciate how much went into this. Enjoy the fruits of your labor Kevin.

[@1dgaffney]

Giraffe sent me here as well. Fantastic work! +1 internets for all of you

[@missbhavens]

This. Is. Killer! Really, guys. SO impressed. I'm pretty sure I saw my old locker, too :)

[@yukifan02]

This is just amazing!!! Give props to your friend she put a little ad on imgur to your video

[@TheEjaay]

Seems like a school with great people to be around :)

Same, and I'm glad I saw the post. Worth a replay i think.

[@MissFancySchmancy]

So cool! It's nice to see familiar faces!

[@Mbmoney1217]

Great Video! I know the guitarist in Cheers Elephant and he'd be happy to see this.

[@katyaturchin]

Love this video so much!!! It's really cool and reflects the community we have at hunter! Also we spent half our English class watching it instead of discussing our FLEs for a separate peace so thank you!

[@deborahsaurus]

This is awesome, The people involved are awesome, YOU are awesome.

[@yokachen]

love it! makes me miss hunter. love from class of 2005!

[@ClaudiaMarkovich]

Thanks for this great video! It's beautifully done and I love the music. It's also great to see HCHS now, and yet it brings me right back when I was there. Class of 1980 :)

[@bookfanatic1994]

Amazing job. You have astounded us all.

[@ChuRukaChibi]

I just love how you switch from person to person and location location! this is brilliant!!!

[@htwagstaff]

May sound kinda goofy, but literally brought a tear or two my eyes. It was very nice. You did awesome and ignore any trolls that say otherwise.

I was going to post "That was one of the coolest things I've seen in ages.", but instead I was so amazed I spilt my wine all over my computer. It was just that good.

[@ElFassiTV]

Editing is great. Simple yet beautiful.
