Tidy.

World's Largest Stop-Motion, shot on a mobile.

Okay, so put the Aardman logo in a video banner and I will certainly bite. 

This is beautiful and amazing. From concept to production, the results are BIG. 

"'Gulp' is a short film created by Wieden + Kennedy with 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."

Kudos for Nokia for knowing the value of 'seeding' a UGC site with proper talent and budget. The resulting video contest "Nokia Shorts 2011" has beautiful works within - including the the winning entry "Splitscreen: A Love Story."
