Sub Sandwich: Behind The Scenes With NIKON

This Nikon-produced featurette follows commercial stop-motion director PES on the set of his short film Submarine Sandwich, built inside a full-scale 1920s Italian deli he designed and constructed for the shoot. It shows how far PES's object-animation style extends beyond food props into complete practical sets.
