Gulp (film)

Gulp is a 2011 British animated short film by Nokia and Aardman Animations. Wieden + Kennedy, an agency from Portland, is responsible for the campaign. It is considered a spiritual successor to another Aardman short, Dot. Gulp was filmed "on the world’s largest stop-motion set". The film is under 2 minutes long, and is followed by a behind-the-scenes featurette.[1] The co-directors were Will Studd and Sumo Science.[2]

Plot

ShortOfTheWeek describes the plot as "a Jonah-style adventure of a fisherman getting caught in a belly of a giant fish".[1]

gollark: With sensible use of databases and prepared statement™ technology you cannot have injection issues.
gollark: Well, `system` is often horribly vulnerable to injection issues. You *should* be fine if you base64 all user input.
gollark: An excellent example of procrastination.
