Gulp - The world's largest stop-motion animation

"'Gulp' is a short film created by Sumo Science at Aardman, depicting a fisherman going about his daily catch. Shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales, every frame of this stop-motion animation was shot using a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The film has broken a world record for the 'largest stop-motion animation set', with the largest scene stretching over 11,000 square feet." - YouTube

what a load of bullshit , the whole viral aspect of this is so shit , I mean its totally idiotic this whole "shot with x device" especaily when the device has nothing to do it with it , be better to just say brought to you by nokea N8 or to have the animation reflect the phone in some way.

Its made even more stupid by the fact he used multiple phones ( because the phone is obviously not suited to this task so that negates that sales point )


the whole shot with x camera only makes sense if for example the film is of a quality level that makes you think wow must have been shot with profestional kit and then u see it was done with an i phone or some shit making you then think the product has a good camara , then that would make some sense ( evan though vast majorty of what makes things look profestional is in the editing / colour grading / post work/ camara angles ( meanign you could use a £15 webcame and still end up with a end result that looks professionally)

or if the camera itself had a unqu function or feature that added something specific to the film like the ablity to film those high altitude videos or say exstreem sports stuff then again that would make sense.


anyway ill stop talking shit , at least the animation was nice ( I couldn't give a shit about the scale gimmick but it looked like they had fun making i liked the dark part and it generaly was fun.
