This year 4th Estate is celebrating 25 years of publishing (I think they’re owned by HarperCollins) with a brilliant stop motion animation. It is called This is where we live and is some lovely urban typography (over 1000 books) brought to life. It was shown only once on TV in Australia, on a book review show, not as a commercial and had a massive impact on audiences. Made by Apt Studios in 3 short weeks, it shows how 4th Estate sees further than most ordinary publishing houses. Not only for their ground-breaking international literary agenda, but also for their understanding of online video and its wide marketing potential. There are more movies and stills of the making of this film here . Enjoy!
