Couldn't find any reference to this on dvinfo - apologies if it has been posted before.

from BBC News - Wallace and Gromit makers set record on Pendine Sands (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-14430313)

"The makers of Wallace and Gromit have filmed what they hope to be the world's largest stop-motion animation.

The motion picture, called 'Gulp' is the story of a lone fisherman who gets eaten by a fish, and is set on Pendine Sands, Carmarthenshire.

About 30 volunteers and sand artists helped make the video, shot with three mobile phones from a cherry-picker."

A video of how the project was put together has also been posted on the web.
