UK students trip the print fantastic with stop-motion video

Last month, our very own Charlie White uncovered a stop-motion masterpiece using Post-It notes. A couple of students from Kingston University in London heeded a call from Hewlett Packard to create a commercial using the computer behemoth's products.

Matthew Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth, the auteurs behind the ad, take a bow. HP, you are a very, very lucky corporation to have these two turning one of your mundane tech necessities into something so spanky. The background track is Music Hold Me Back by the Round Table Knights.

It's interesting how great some of these stop motion shorts are, considering the concepts are little more than small pixel graphics from decades past.

This reminds me of the scsi images from typing class (Yes, I took typing class long ago) where an image was made with the keyboard rather than the high res images we use today.

Cool print short and post-it from the link.

:-)
