Practitioner 3: Sumo Science






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.
