A sandcastle driven stop motion shot on a mobile phone
Descriptive titles are all I’ve got the brain matter for today… but this is impressive.
Gulp. The world’s largest stop-motion animation shot on a Nokia N8. from Nokia HD on Vimeo.
Some info (from here – where you can also watch a making of)
“The new film, Gulp, tells the simple story of a fisherman who gets swallowed by a larger predator. It was shot entirely with the Nokia N8 phone. “Strapping the device to a 40-meter high cherry picker on a massive expanse of beach with gale force winds seemed like a good challenge for the smartphone,” says David Bruno, a creative at Wieden + Kennedy London which created the spot along with directing team Sumo Science, from animation studio Aardman, and sand artist Jamie Wardley, from sand and ice sculpture specialists, Sand in Your Eye.”
Going paperless
So we moved house. And I’m determined for this house to remain relatively clutter free. At least upstairs. So we’re going paperless. The plan is to use a fancy pants scanner to upload a PDF version of every letter, or college hand out, or church document, or receipt, or anything we want to keep to Evernote. And to do some sort of tagging and sorting in the cloud.
This might sound like “Getting Things Done” (GTD), or “being environmentally conscious”… But it’s not. I promise. I just don’t want to have to keep picking up rubbish, or have an obscene amount of college reading to sort through next time we move house.
Anyway. This is the tool I’ve picked for the job, the Doxie Go:
I’m oddly excited about an office peripheral.
Anybody out there got some good paperless tips? Or other general decluttering methods? I toyed with the idea of turning all my books into ebooks using 1 dollar scan… but I am still stubbornly tactile.
This song is on rotation in our house at the moment…
And it’s a nice song. I liked it before we named our daughter.
