Gulp is a 2011 British animated short film by Aardman Animations working with Wieden + Kennedy and filmed on Nokia N8 smart phone, then Nokia's top-of-the-range. It is considered a spiritual successor to another Aardman short, Dot. Gulp was filmed "on the world’s largest stop-motion set". The film run-time is under two minutes, and is followed by a behind-the-scenes featurette.[1] The co-directors were Will Studd and Sumo Science.[2]
Production[]
The film was shot on a Nokia N8, which was suspended over a beach. Sand sculptures were used in the production with other props. Nokia Conversation explains "Breaking the Guinness world record, the largest scene in the film stretches over 11,000 square feet".[3][4][5]
Jay Clarke was the storyboard Artist for "Gulp".[citation needed]
Plot[]
ShortOfTheWeek describes the plot as "a Jonah-style adventure of a fisherman getting caught in a belly of a giant fish".[1]
