One comment made was “What did she do with the jelly beans after you finished”.  Being the shy retiring type, I fired off an e-mail to her.  Two months later (she likely gets a lot of e-mail), I got an answer.

These are my Jelly Belly jelly beans, and you ...

This is a very cool video.  The work, the thought , the time that went into this is incredible.  Kina Grannis wanted to do something different and this, most definitely, is different.  The idea came from Greg Jardin, the director of the film.  The song “In Your Arms” is a nice piece, made extraordinary by this video.  The list below says it all.

To create a 3:25 video required:

22 months
1,357 hours
30 people
2 ladders
1 still camera
288,000 jelly beans

Enjoy, and appreciate the talent and work that created this.  The first insert is “THE VIDEO”.  The second describes the making of the film.  This is well worth the watch.
