Over the last few months the wieden + kennedy Nokia team has been working on something big – really big. So big in fact that it is world record breaking.

Over the last few months the wieden + kennedy Nokia team has been working on something big – really big. So big in fact that it is world record breaking. 

Allow us to introduce Gulp, a stop-motion animation filmed on the largest ever stop-motion animation set.

Our most recent collaboration with Aardman, Gulp is the follow-up to last year’s record-breakingly small Dot. 

 

 

To give you an idea of scale, Gulp was filmed on a beach, with a crane and at its widest point spanned 46 meters (the width of a football pitch).

Filmed entirely on the Nokia N8’s 12 megapixel camera, Gulp shows how far technology can go when you are willing to innovate, adapt and play with it.

Gulp will be with us very soon but for the time being take a look at the teaser videos that have been released this week.

Focusing on individual elements of the shoot, the teasers give you an insight into the amount of craft and effort that is needed to make each frame come to life.

Enjoy.
