Sumo Science, the Aardman directing duo comprised of Ed Patterson and Will Studd, directed this new microscopic stop-motion spot for Nokia. The short, titled Dot, was all shot with a Nokia N8 phone. It’s a world where pencils are the size of buildings and pencil shaving look like giant waves. Pretty amazing stuff:
… and here’s a Making Of segment, illustrating how the production team used a Cellscope, a clever invention that’s used to speed up medical diagnosis.
Just stunning.
The animation itself reminded me a lot of the final level in Braid.
Tremendously painstaking work. Congratulations – well done.
