To generate awareness of and interest in Samsung‘s new G800 mobile phone, THE VIRAL FACTORY has created, produced, and is seeding a new stop animation film which has achieved over 7.5 million views in a month.
In the film, stop motion animation stick figures traverse the bodies of a guy and girl falling in love, telling the story of "How We Met".
With over 7.5 million views, "How We Met" is Samsung’s most successful viral campaign to date, beating THE VIRAL FACTORY’s previous Samsung hit "Millimetres Matter" (3.5 million views).
The ad has been on the front page of YouTube, as well as UK and other global sites, for 12 days – editorially controlled positioning that cannot be bought. It has also racked up 31 YouTube honors and has been favorited 14,653 times.
The campaign showcases the new Samsung G800 mobile phone’s 5 mega-pixel camera with unique 3x inner optical zoom.
1,622 photos were used to create the stop animation film of a Stickman and Stickwoman, which was drawn directly on to the skin of the main characters bodies. The film demonstrates the camera phone’s abilities and also shows how you can capture the most important moments of your life, in great photo resolution, using the G800.
Viewers of the film are also directed to the campaign microsite www.zoomintosee.com, where details are revealed of how the film was created and what equipment was used.

I bought a car charger for my Samsung Eternity cell phone and noticed that one of the attachments fits in my Samsung SL620 camera slot. I wonder if it will charge in my car as well?I don’t want to try it just yet in case something bad can happen.
I recognize individuals don’t give adequate idea into the SEO value of their blogs, i think it’s because blogs are so good at getting traffic quick that many individuals don’t even take the time to tweak them to drive even more traffic.
