Nidaros Cathedral facade animated from a single photo

Ismael Sanz-Pena, a professor at the Kansas City Art Institute, created an animation of the Nidaros Cathedral facade in Trondheim, Norway, using just a single photograph. The video makes the stone sculptures appear to dance and come alive, achieved through zoom and panning techniques during editing. A rhythmic soundtrack with chants and voices enhances the vibrant atmosphere. Sanz-Pena stated to Colossal magazine that the goal was to extract the inherent movement within static forms, discovering that one image sufficed for the effect.
