  • An automated factory producing 2 000 000 pizza a week.

    "Ever wonder who came up with the order of numbers on a telephone? Ever wonder why it isn’t the same as those on a calculator, or a keyboard, ascending from lowest to highest?

    "In honor of the upcoming 25th anniversary of 4th Estate (an imprint of HarperCollins UK), Apt Studio produced a gorgeous stop-motion animation. I was blown away when I watched this (see video below), and I'm in disbelief that the film was completed in under a month. It's the perfect blend of nostalgia, a love of books, and modernity. The film took a team of 20 animators, and more than 1,000 books were put to use."
    i love stop motion
