Yellow Pages - New Compact Size, Same Big Content

National Competition Winner

This is my submission for the Yellow Pages Crammed with Stuff Competition. The main thing we were trying to do with this video was to get across a creative use of the new yellow pages that still showed it could be useful in it's intended purpose i.e. information not as a doorstop.

The concept at it's fullest would end in the yellow pages taking over an entire house and transforming it but despite having 30 yellow pages to hand, we still didn't have enough for that.

Made possible thanks to Jack Wild, Katherine Barclay (and housemates), Adam Webster and Matt Davies (composer).

This was my first attempt at stop motion...it took a while.
