‘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.
The making of:
Incredible installation from Brazil’s Galeria Melissa where the talents of twenty-five animators and a seemingly endless stream of public well-wishers combined their talents to create the “Melissa Power of Love” project.
A stop frame animation created for the Toffie Festival 2011. It shares advice from local (South African) and international designers on starting your own business by Studio Botes.

Stop motion videos inspire me to take the time to really look at the world with a closer eye. Every day we are bombarded with millions of ads, images, texts, calls, videos, that sometimes we forget to really look and appreciate every second. As Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
