The vid-maker calls this "Popup book," though, technically, nothing actually pops up. Still pretty cool, though.
Discription: a wordless video of a man turning pages of a small home-made book. Each page has a hole punched in the center, with a black yarn threaded through them. As each page is turned, the yarn is drawn tight into a straight line, which becomes part of the illustration spanning two pages:
1) no picture, just text.
2) Two men talking on a tin can telephone (the yarn is the string between the cans)
3) A leaping pole vaulter (the yarn is the bar over which he jumps)
4) Tug of war
5) Telephone wire with birds
6) The lifeline for an astronaut on a space-walk
7) The pole in the game / dance "Limbo"
8) A tow-line for two children playing on toy riding cars
9) (I'm not sure, but--) A loose thread unraveling from a man's trouser leg
10) one of those "crowd control" velvet ropes at a fancy event.
11) The words "What else?" and a thread unrolling from a spool
The man closes the book, revealing that the yarn is just a relatively short loop, tied in a knot at the back.
