Anthrax releases a stop-motion video for their new single

Anthrax has released a new Jack Bennett-directed stop motion video for latest single “Monster at the End,” and its both innovative and awesome.

The original concept was to have four still photographers placed strategically on a Florida set while the five members of Anthrax performed their new song “Monster At The End” live. Each photographer would hold down his camera’s shutter button continuously for the near-four minute-long song, capturing a steady stream of hundreds of still images.

As the music video unfolds, the frame rate increases, giving the band members more and more fluid movements until the final chorus when the video is full-on 24-frames per second.

“You could watch this video one frame at a time,” Bennett added, “and probably not find everything we did.”

Bennett wraps the video with one more surprise, an unexpected ending that goes to show that in the end, there’s a little bit of the monster in all of us.
