Sumo Science are a company that specialize
in animation. It was formed by Ed Patterson and Will Studd, an award winning
directing duo who specialize in different forms of animation. They intend to
create a “fresh mix” of animation styles using stop motion, puppetry, 2D and
live-action.
The biggest success for Sumo Science as of 2011
is the film ‘Dot.’ Made for Nokia this film went on to win 15 major
advertisement awards as well as claiming the Guinness world record for the
smallest stop-motion character in a film. It holds nearly three million hits
online.
The duo have only recently worked with
nokia again to make another short film called ‘Gulp.’ The film is ever growing
online and also holds a world record for largest animation set. Nokia hired the
duo to promote their new phone and the entire ‘Gulp.’ Animation was composed of
still photos from the phones camera.
