Comments on: The World’s Largest Stop Motion Animation: Shot On A Cell Phone http://fstoppers.com/the-worlds-largest-stop-motion-animation-shot-on-a-cell-phone Video Blog for Creative Professionals Fri, 24 May 2013 06:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mike Molloyhttp://fstoppers.com/the-worlds-largest-stop-motion-animation-shot-on-a-cell-phone/comment-page-1#comment-25023 Mike Molloy Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:16:00 +0000 http://fstoppers.com/?p=12095#comment-25023 Given that the video was posted on Nokia’s YouTube channel I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s an advertisement for the phone (as mentioned in the copy), so using a dSLR would kind of defeat the point.

That said, my work has supplied me with a Nokia N8 and whilst I’m not fussed with Symbian, the quality of the photos and video it takes is quite good. The 12MP 1/1.8″ sensor is on par with the likes of sensors in some compact cameras, let alone other smartphones (for comparison the iPhone4 uses a 1/4″ sensor). But once again it really is a case of quality hardware let down by an OS which hasn’t kept up with the market.

Props to the aardman team though, all their hard work was certainly worth it, looking at the finished clip!

I just don’t understand what the point is with using cellphones for this shoot, seems like a waste of quality when they could have easily shot this with a DSLR.

So many amazing animators out there, but it seems like unless they stick a cellphone in their movie, noone will ever know of them. How did it come to that? Not to mention, calling your own creation “World’s Largest” – seriously?
