NATHAN SEABROOK | YUBA DIAMOND VIDEO

I wanted to share a video by Nathan Seabrook that I've found inspiring. Seabrook is an artist, photographer and budding director here in San Francisco. I've known and worked with him for over a year or so now and his passion is really compelling. His vision in his newest piece, a music video for Yuba Diamond, is told through old fashioned film techniques including stop motion animation and projecting backgrounds. I only saw this piece in the making for a couple of hours one afternoon which was a fraction of the time he invested. For more of Seabrook's work visit his Vimeo page.

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.
