Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In the quest to gain headlines and break a Guinness World Record, Nokia created "Gulp," the world's biggest stop-frame animation - and it was shot using a smartphone.
It's not Nokia's first attempt at a record breaking film: the company shot the world's smallest stop-frame animation, " Dot," using a Nokia N8 and a macro lens back in 2010.
Both animations were created in collaboration with Aardman animation and Wieden + Kennedy.
To break the Guinness World Record, Nokia took a trip down to the Pendine Beach, Wales, and used cranes to suspend N8 smartphones over hand-crafted sand sculptures and a life-sized boat.
"[T]he largest scene in the film stretches over 11,000 square feet - that’s nearly as big as two tennis courts joined together,” said Nokia in a post on its Nokia Conversations blog.
