Aardman Animations, The Studio Behind “Wallace & Gromit”, Makes a 360˚ Short Film “Special Delivery”
Looks like Pixar might have some impressive competition from another animation studio in the animated short film category during awards season.
Aardman Animations who are behind so many stop motion animation classics like the aforementioned Wallace & Gromit as well as the recent Shaun The Sheep, ventured into a whole new territory with a 360˚ short film for the holiday season through Google’s Spotlight Stories.
In Special Delivery, you can enjoy an adorable chase between a janitor and Santa and also the ability to pan throughout the video within the YouTube player. If you’re watching on a mobile device, you should be able to pan your phone and the frame within the short film will also move in the same direction.
Special Delivery is the start of this sort of interactive video on such a platform as YouTube and what a start it is. Watch and play with it here.
