Kevin Parry, a master of stop motion animation, set a challenge for himself: to remake the animated Netflix logo using just ordinary arts and crafts supplies.
Parry created a set with a table and black cloth. Rather than moving the camera toward the N, created a rig under the table that pushed the N up to the camera. The N is actually three separate Ns, which he swaps out in order to create the grainy visual effect of stop motion animation.
As the N moves all the way up, he switches the framing to strands of yarn threaded into slots on boards, which gradually fill the screen and then disappear. The result is a highly effective visual take on an increasingly iconic image.
