Watch: The Shins' stop-motion video for 'Half A Million'
The Shins haven't stopped since the release of their latest album Heartworm, which was followed by a batch of tour dates.
The Portland-based troupe continue to delight us with the release of a creative video for 'Half A Million'.
The video uses thousands of stickers- 5,556 to be exact- to animate the band's members appearing in odd places, like playing drums on a cheese platter.
Created and directed by LAMAR+NIK, the video was "[f]ilmed on a white backdrop, edited, then printed out." The stickers were "hand cut from the 4,868 frames and animated by sticking them down on top of each other at each of the 40+ locations."

The result of all that work is quite remarkable.
