To commemorate the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, which occured 64 years ago today on August 6, 1945, Dan Blank presents his stop-motion film Shadowplay.

Dan writes:

Shadowplay focuses on the permanent shadows imprinted on the city’s walls & streets by the intense flash, creating indelible images from the exact moment the bomb hit. The film was created at NYU, and took two and a half years to complete. It won multiple awards, including a Student Academy Award and Student Emmy. I hesitated on posting it online for years, but felt it was better to have it available rather than let it sit buried on my hard drive. Thank you so much for helping share my work!
