This incredible music video for John Mayer was shot entirely live-action, with no post-production effects. The animations were done using the ombro cinema – an old technique where the silhouettes appear through the film and the movements are resulted from the stroboscopic illusion. Check here for more ombro cinema examples. Other technologies used include: lenticular sheets – a set of lenses designed in such a way as when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are produced; and autostereoscopy – displaying stereoscopic images (3D for instance) without the use of special headgear or glasses on the part of the viewer. via Motionographer Read here more about pre-cinema animation!
