This is a Nokia viral ad for their N8 phone featuring the world’s largest stop-motion animation, which was made on a beach using a crane (that’s a real boat in the picture). It’s a follow-up to their world’s smallest stop-motion animation and NOT a follow up to the job interview I had on Monday, which probably isn’t coming (I called the dude a pecker and threatened to choke him out with a computer cord when he asked for references). ‘Gulp’ is a short film created by Sumo Science at Aardman, depicting a fisherman going about his daily catch. Shot on location at Pendine Beach in South Wales, every frame of this stop-motion animation was shot using a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The film has broken a world record for the ‘largest stop-motion animation set’, with the largest scene stretching over 11,000 square feet. Damn, that thing has a 12-megapixel camera? What’s my iPhone have on it? “A shit-ton of pics of your balls?” Haha, you know it! Hit the jump for the video, as well as a ‘making-of’ if you’re curious.

World’s Largest Stop Motion Animation Film

Seen here looking suspiciously like Rodney Dangerfield’s lovechild, a man explains Samsung’s experiment to drop 200 paper airplanes from 36,500 meters (119,750 feet or ~22 miles) above Germany. Each plane contains a Samsung SD card with messages uploaded from people who visited their website. Mine reads, “SUCK IT, ALIENS!” Allegedly planes traveled all the way to Sydney, Australia; Khabarovsk, Russia and Bangalore, India, although I suspect they’re actually all at the bottom of the ocean or in a shark’s stomach. The feat was performed with the intention of demonstrating just how “magnet-proof, shock-proof and waterproof” the SD cards are, but I suspect it’ll actually demonstrate just how small and hard to find they they are. Just sayin’, you know how many memory cards filled with nude Myspace-style mirror shots of myself I’ve lost? TENS. Plus a couple external hard drives. And at least one briefcase of Polaroids. Please note: if you find one of the planes you’re encouraged to contact Samsung with your info yell ‘HOLY SHIT IT’S A BOMB!’ and call the police. Hit the jump for a video of the planes being released.

This is an allegedly screener footage from a “dark and gritty” live-action Pokemon movie that surprisingly has a lot of guns in it. I have no idea if it’s real or not, so I’m just gonna copy/paste the email sent to Shogungamer and let you decide for yourself. You’re a big boy, you can make decisions! Subject: [News Tip] Pokemon Live Action Movie Trailer Cam From: ProfessorOak@PalletTown.com Date: September 14, 2010 1:59:19 AM PDT (CA) Professor Oak sent a message using the contact form at http://www.shogungamer.com/contact. I’ve been lurking this site for a while and I wanted to see if you were interested in posting this video I captured tonight. Today after work my friend and I were invited to view a “secret movie trailer screening.” We were not told what it would be, but when I got there 30 other people and myself were shown a trailer for a Pokemon live action movie. It was super sketchy but I decided to record the last 30 seconds or so of the trailer which was about 3 min long. The clip is in a zip file and the password is “gottacatchemall.” I can’t give you much more detail then this. I wasn’t supposed to film this, but holy shit it was awesome. I’ll be in touch with you guys when I can talk more about it. [SendSpace.com URL Removed] ~Professor Oak I dunno Professor Oak, this all seems kinda sketchy. I’m afraid we’re gonna have to get another professor involved. Layton! Enough diddling your Justin Bieber poster — we’ve got a case to crack. UPDATE : A Geekologie informant who knows someone involved in the production clarified the movie is, in fact, fan-made. Hit the jump for the “WTF did I just watch?”

Note: Video is after the jump for fear of accidentally FATALITY-ING your ass all over the front page. This is a video making its way around the interwebs that appears to be an 8-minute trailer for an upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. BUT THAT AIN’T THE CASE. It’s actually believed to be some viral marketing for a new Mortal Kombat game . But is it? I have no idea. It is incredibly well made though. Plus Reptile eats people’s heads. Sick! Kidding, it’s not any worse than a dog licking it’s own a-hole. *ahem* CHLOE! Gimme kissies. Eight minutes of worthwhile billable time awaits you after the jump. FINISH IT!

WTF Did I Just Watch: Mortal Kombat: Rebirth

Remember Star Wars Kid ? I know, how could anybody forget that magic? Well it turns out he’s a lawyer now. You know, after years and years of ridicule. After three friends uploaded the infamous clip, which features Raza flailing about with a metal pole doing his most awkward Darth Maul impersonation, the Canadian teen became depressed, dropped out of school and wound up in a children’s psychiatric hospital. Raza and his family eventually took the parents of the kids who uploaded the videos to court and sued them for the harassment Ghyslain has endured since the clip debuted, and they eventually earned a settlement. It seems like the story would end there, but website Motherboard brings us an update on one of the online world’s most iconic people — and where Raza is now may (or may not … ) surprise you … Raza, now in his early 20s (and slimmed down) didn’t become a Sith Lord, but he did wind up as the next best thing: a lawyer. After his courtroom experience, he decided to head to Montreal’s McGill University, where he obtained his law degree. Dammit, Star Wars Kid, you don’t see Ninja Boy getting all depressed and dropping out of school do you? Of course not, because he knows he’s a star . Just like you were. But did you ride the fame to the moon Endor? You did not. You got all butthurt instead. GROW SOME BALLS. You wanna know what I was known for in high school? Being the kid who shit his shorts in gym class and had the turd plop out onto the basketball court. And you know what I did? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I DID?! I took a f***ing free-throw. An Update on “The Star Wars Kid” [cinematical] Thanks to Mesnard, who was known in high school as the guy who could get any girl he wanted but only dated girls in college.
