Some really cool animations

Things have been a little bit neglected lately but I’m just back from Barcelona and I’ve had so much on that I haven’t had a change to post anything. However I intend to post a few more things before the madness of the final year begins in only a few weeks times. Panic!!!

Gulp

 

This animation has been posted all over the web on nearly every design website so you more and likely have already seen it but it was completely new to me. 

Created by Wieden + Kennedy London for Nokia, this animation has been shot completely on a Nokia N8 and has set a Guinness World Record for the ‘World’s Largest Stop-Motion Animation Set’.

Directed by Sumo Science (Will Studd and Ed Patterson) the story is about a fisherman going about his daily catch, when an unexpected event occurs. It was shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales. The aim of film is to showcase the Nokia N8’s Carl Zeless optics and its 12-megapixel photography capabilities.

The making-of film below explains how it was carried out.

This is another really cool stop motion animation using only dice, it is defiantly worth a watch.
