Rebuilding an engine - stop motion video

Certainly nothing I'll ever do, but I found it interesting to watch:

Started out as just a collection of snaps as I stripped down an engine bought off ebay. (To replace my old engine, which had suffered catastrophic failure). The snaps were so that I remembered how everything went, so I could put it back together again.

Then I realised it'd be quite cool to make it an animation. found some suitable music, rekindled my ancient knowledge of Premiere, storyboarded it, shot it as I worked on the engine (my poor DSLR got covered in engine oil), this was the result.

that is awesome! i would love to do something similar for a big project like that. Rebuilt a few motors too, but usually only a picture per day, if that.
