Stop Motion Wednesday - DOT: The Smallest Stop Motion Animation Ever

This weeks stop motion is an amazing little (and I really do mean little this time) animation that was created to promote the Nokia N8 cellphone - ok it has a special bit of equipment attached to it (the CellScope) which is basically an microscope attached for the phone. The film tells the story of a 9mm tall girl called Dot and her adventures through a microscopic world - all filmed on the Nokia N8 with its built in 12 megapixel camera. Check it out;

Very cool no? Apparently the entire set has no more than a meter and a half long and was painted under the microscope by modelmakers and finally animated using tweezers - crazy I know. Apparently the CellScope was originally invented by a Professor Daniel Fletcher and is usually used to diagnose fatal diseases in remote areas of third world countries… and It took this stop motion for us to find out about it! DOT is part of a wider campaign which you can check out here or just skip to the amazing making of below.
