In today’s rapidly evolving smartphone market, the Nokia N8 seems almost… ancient. But if there’s any doubts that its camera is still the gold-medal champion of the bunch, “Gulp” will shut up the critics. The video you see below is the world’s largest stop-motion movie, filmed on a beach in South Wales using none other than the phone’s famed 12 megapixel sensor. Okay, that’s not entirely true; it was actually done on three of them, not just one, with the aid of a massively tall crane to lift them up. Everything you see in the flick – including the fisherman and his boat – is life-size; the largest scene spans over 11,000 square feet. The Sumo Science production, in all of its 90-second glory, is ready for your viewing pleasure below, as is a short documentary explaining how it all went down. For sure, you’re either going to lust after a N8 once again, or vow never to go fishing again.Continue reading Nokia N8 used to shoot world’s largest stop-motion film, ‘Gulps’ up the competition (video)
