I don’t know about you, but i know some designers tend to have a less than healthy obsession with energy drinks :) I’m a sucker for cool packaging and would buy this drink in a heart beat if I saw it in America. Any austrailians feel free to mail me some :)

Photographer Adam Paul took over 3,200 photos with his Nikon D90 in the first 90 Days and decided to put it all together in time-lapse / stop motion short film.
What inspired me most was when I watched his film, it appeared as though he had the entire stop-motion and plot in mind while he was shooting. I asked him and he said he just put them together and put music over it. I was floored. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to try it with my 90D90 idea and sure enough, instant masterpiece.
