Gulp - Aardman


Gulp. The world's largest stop-motion animation shot on a Nokia N8. from Nokia HD on Vimeo.

Gulp is the largest stop motion created on a beach by Aardman using a boat on its side, props and through manipulating the movement of the sand under the other props in use. It also uses the same camera as when they did a similar animation which the claim to be the worlds smallest animation in which they use he same type of camera phone to film the animation. Its a very simple concept showing a man at sea fishing. the way they manage to create the idea of a man in the boat by stuffing the clothes to create a full body. the movement is very fluid even though the scale is so large, they also do a very good job of not leaving marks in the sand when manipulating the background. Because of the character you forget its all stop motion and i personally for a moment thought it was pixilation, forgetting it wasn't a real guy in the boat.
