Thats some great footage. Such a shame that a trade like that has been more or less wiped out by technology. I remember seeing a similiar film at the Guiness factory in Dublin.
I think with the popularity of craft beer etc around the world, surely there would be some succsessful breweries willing to give the old fashion ways a crack. I know I'd support them if they did.

worth a watch, some of you not in the US might not be able to see it but a plug in for chrome will solve it.

Kurume Kasuri
200 years ago during the Edo period a 12 year old girl named Den Inoue noticed a white dot on her kimono fabric. Unravelling the threads to get a better look she realized that two of the crossing threads were not dyed, creating a white spot. After much experimenting she discovered that wrapping threads before dying them was a new way of making patterned fabric. This traditional Japanese technique, which spread all over the continent, all began with her small observation. Today there are still a number of fabric weavers continuing the traditional handmade process of Kurume Kasuri.…
Perhaps I mentioned that before..

Might have to forgive some of the cheesy music but a lot of the clips are pretty incredible.

I like the work of visual artist Martin Heck!

@Giles there's a list of equipment on the Vimeo page for the timelapse:
-
Canon EOS 6D
-
Canon EOS 550D
-
24-105mm f4L
-
70-200 f4L,
-
15-85mm f3.5-5.6
-
Samyang 14mm f2.8
The last two are motion control rigs, so the photographer will have programmed them to move slightly, take a shot, move again, and then repeat. After that it's just a case of assembling the video from stills.
My guess would be that your camera set-up is better than the above. Don't you have an enormous Nikon? You just need the robots to do the grunt work.
