Animator Marty Cooper made a splash several weeks ago with a short video called Aug(De)Mented Reality, a compilation of cartoon animations brought to life in the real world using an iPhone. Adam Savage, co-host of MythBusters and son of an animator himself, invited Cooper to the Cave (his workshop) to show off how he created the stop motion animations which have currently garnered over 4 million views on YouTube. If you’re an amateur animator looking to replicate Cooper’s process, the StopMotion Recorder app for the iPhone is key. Check out the process and the final result of Cooper’s visit with Adam Savage below.
