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.
