The world’s largest stop-motion animation was recently created using the 12-megapixel cellphone camera on the Nokia N8.
Gulp is the name of the short film animation created by Sumo Science at UK animation agency Aardman.
Gulp was shot on 11 000 m2 of sand on Pendine beach in South Wales and tells the story of a fisherman getting trapped at sea.

The entire film was shot from a large crane above this scene on the beach. The final images were set run to run at 25 frames per second to create the final stop-motion effect.
Here’s the film behind the film:
