Khoda
Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by Karri Wells.
Imagine spending two years working on a film that would last only five minutes. Reza Dolatabadi did just that. His graduation film, Khoda, is a film that consists of over 6,000 paintings. Khoda, as described on his porfolio site www.rezaart.com:
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!
The video is beautiful and truely amazing. I can’t even begin to image the amount of blood, sweat and tears that would go into something like this. Ok, watch the video already!
