World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Video Was Filmed With a Nokia N8 Phone [Stop Motion]

Filmed using nothing but a Nokia N8 with attached CellScope microscope, what you’ll see here will blow your mind. The figurines were made using a 3D printer, and had to be hand-painted using a microscope because of their small stature.

While we remain decidedly nonplussed about Nokia’s Symbian-running N8 phone, there’s no doubting the quality of photos that its 12MP camera is capable of taking. We haven’t seen much video taken on it though, largely due partially because it’s been delayed of delays.

Whatever the video quality, it’s unlikely anyone shall be attempting to recreate UK animators’ Aardman’s stop-motion video, called ” Dot,” simply because no-you possibly can come nearly the level of cuteness seen here. The little figurine, (50 of them were made, measuring 8.89mm tall), is chased in a virtually Mario-like platform world created from fabric. This can almost definitely warm the cockles of your ticker-until I inform you that it was created as a viral video by Nokia themselves.

Nonetheless, it’s entered Aardman into the Guinness Book of global Records . [ PopSci via TechRadar ]
