The late Irish American philosopher Terence McKenna’s ‘stoned ape theory’ (that the ape mind evolved toward the human mind by way of psychedelic mushrooms) illustrated in a clip from Duncan Trussell’s Comedy Central Pilot “Thunderbrain’, animated and voiced by Will Carsola.

Two stop-motion animations by Sumo Science at Aardman. Both promos for (and shot with) the Nokia N8. Both world record holders.

‘Gulp’ (top) shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales, features the world’s largest stop-motion animation set, stretching over 11,000 square feet.

‘Dot’ (bottom, from 2010), by way of contrast, uses a CellScope microscope attachment to film the world’s smallest stop-motion animation character.
