Directing duo Sumo Science will probably be a tiny bit upset that their previous world record for the smallest stop-motion character ever captured on film has been smashed by an atomic film from IBM, created by Ogilvy & Mather North America.
The science is pretty mind bending but in essence, IBM researchers used a scanning tunnelling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of each other), in order to make a film so small it can only be seen when you magnify it 100 million times.
The 250-frame animation, titled The World's Smallest Movie: A Boy and His Atom, was directed by 1st Ave Machine's Nico Casavecchia, although has a pretty basic storyline, let’s face it.
