Nokia N8: The World’s Largest Stop Motion Film Nokia is making another big push to promote the quality cameras on board their latest range of phones, by partnering with Aardman Animations and Wieden + Kennedy once again to create the Gulp animation, a new Guinness World Record animation filmed on the Nokia N8. The stop motion fim is shot entirely on the new Nokia N8, and aims to showcase the Carl Zeiss optics and its 12-megapixel photography capabilities. They managed to place three phones elevated some 36 meters above the ground on a cherry picker on a beach in South Wales, in the UK, to cover a canvas of 42 meters x 24 meters… Basically creating the “World’s Largest Stop-motion Animation”.
Crazy effort… Do you remember the last world record stop motion animation by these guys? It was the “ World’s Smallest Stop Motion Animation “ Be Sociable, Share! French Connection UK: AW11 Teaser. Du jamais vu avec des iPads ! MUJI Spain: MUJI OJOKEESU - Print (image) Blink 182 Rewards Tune-Stealing YouTube Users With Music Video Role. Back in high school, Blink 182 was the band that everybody loved or loved to hate. Well, the boys are back with their first single in eight years (and an upcoming U.S. tour). To celebrate, they've created a video sourced from fan-made YouTube vids — in which their music was used sans credit.
The video is called "Blink-182 Film Festival You Didn't Know You Entered" and it's a part of a new advertising campaign for AT&T, which the band is shilling for. (Check out the band's ad for the HTC Status below.) Apparently the band and AT&T combed through YouTube for videos in which the band's music was used sans credit and then cut them all together in this ad hoc video for "Up All Night," the aforementioned new single. The video may be part of an advertising campaign, but it's also an interesting way to approach this (very mild) form of piracy. MasterCard Rewards Facebook Places Checkins in New "Priceless" Campaign. The original Yankee Stadium was demolished in 2010, but some of the seats have survived and are now being used in a Facebook Places campaign for MasterCard. Twenty such seats will be scattered around New York City starting Monday.
Fans who find the seats and scan a QR Code will be checked in to Facebook Places. Once a fan checks in, they make themselves eligible to win VIP tickets to a 2011 Yankee game in MasterCard’s exclusive Batter’s Eye Café. The program will challenge fans to find the seats — which sport names like Doubleheader, Chin Music and Triple Play — around the city. The chairs will be placed at locations like Katz's Deli, Murray's Bagels, Junior's and the New York Stock Exchange.
The program runs all month. The initiative, created by digital marketing agency R/GA, is part of the larger MasterCard Priceless New York program, which aims to differentiate MasterCard by offering consumers one-of-a-kind experiences.
