>The film is comprised of over 65,000 frames entirely made up of oil paintings, with 12 individually painted frames appearing on screen per second. Considering that every brushstroke tells a story, it’s crazy to think that there are 898 shots — hence 898 oil paintings — in the hour-and-a-half long moving picture.

This leaves some uncertainty as to how many physical paintings were actually used as frames in the film. For what it's worth, it seems like most frames were created digitally.
