Look at the World's Smallest Stop Motion Film!

That is pretty nifty idea there. It's amazing that they can move them about like that. What will they think of next.

Probably a sequal.

Also called a follow-on or follow-up.

Yeah, but in most cases, they can be called a bomb, or money pit.

Well in this case it'd be an atom bomb.

The little movies are cool and all but the production costs are astronomical.

Pretty spiffy. I'm wondering what the background is, as everything is made of atoms. I'm also wondering what type of atoms they used.

A sequel, yes. I have no idea what a sequal is.

Nice.

That is pretty cool. I have to admit that I probably can't understand the practical application of this, but I am sure there are plenty.

Were they moving atoms or molecules? The article mentioned both terms.

Moving atoms. Crikey!
