Nokia N8: A menor animação em stop-motion do mundo

Dot Nokia N8

Em parceria com a Aardman Animations, a Nokia lançou o pequeno filme “Dot”. É o que eles chamam de menor animação em stop-motion do mundo.

Todo filmado com o novo N8, o curta acompanha as aventuras minúsculas de uma garotinha que tem apenas 9 milímetros de altura. Mais legal até do que o próprio o filme, é ver como ele foi feito.

A criação é da Wieden+Kennedy de Londres, e segue a assinatura do comercial de TV do N8: “It’s not technology, it’s what you do with it”.

Granted, telling the story of the downtrodden rising above odds to regain control of life usually goes in a similar path. The Loss. The Anger. The Introspection. The Rebirth. Etc. But the similarities in tone between the two are striking.
