Last week we announced the decision to part company with Nokia after four years of working together. Here’s a small selection from the work we’ve done for them recently – these examples are all from the work done to support the launch of the Nokia N8 smartphone.

And this case history video summarises the whole N8 campaign.

'Making of' videos are all the rage at the moment and, as Adam Buxton points out in his ‘Ro.Me Behind the Scenes’ parody, they can be a little over the top. 

On the other hand, they can really add to an experience and give the viewer an idea of how much effort and craft it takes to make an idea become a reality. This is the case with Gulp, the word’s largest stop motion animation, which was shot entirely on a Nokia N8.

‘Gulp, the making of’ shows how much hard work went into shooting an 11,000sq ft. animation on a mobile phone, away from the controlled environment of the studio. No small feat.

A massive thanks goes to Nokia, Aardman, Sumo Science, Sand In Your Eye, Nico and Wrack @ W+K and all the volunteers who helped out. We hope you’re as proud of Gulp as we are.
