GULP | WORLD'S LARGEST STOP MOTION BY SUMO SCIENCE

GULP is the 'world's largest stop-motion animation' and latest endeavor from Sumo Science, the animation and direction team that brought you the 'worlds smallest stop-motion animation', Dot (also shot on the Nokia N8). This piece is quite and underpinning, shot outdoors over a day on a beach with a large film crew of volunteers and animation experts, cranes and the Nokia N8 for all the still captures. Using only the N8 for the largest and smallest stop motion animations Sumo Science has just avoided pandering to a gimmick by making a cleaver piece with GULP. With a run time of 1:46 it's a quick reminder of what technology can enable with a creative mind at the controls and a little funding from a company that wants their product to be shared.

Is Tropical - The Greeks

The animated violence is a little jarring in this music video for The Greeks. However, as a boy this is almost verbatim how the neighborhood kids and I played in the backyards, creeks and basements of suburban Kansas. Directed by Megaforce. Animation by Seven. Production by El Nino

REED AND RADAR | V MAGAZINE

I discovered Reed & Radar in 2010 and I've been very inspired by their animations. I can honestly say it's shown up in several of my own works - specifically iandi. Their latest editorial piece for V Magazine is every bit as compelling as what originally attracted me to their work, the subtle motion. I love the still figures as they come to life like little dolls and the repetition with the .gif format shows a sense of humor commonly lacking in fashion spreads.
