Traditionally, wrap advertising has been achieved by painting a vehicle’s outer service. But these days the use of large vinyl sheets as “decals” means a large reduction of cost for changing advertising, and the sheets are removable with relative ease.

From busses to trains, streetcars to planes, mobile advertisement has proven to be a fairly lucrative industry, at the same time enabling a wide marketing outreach. But how do you actually wrap a car?

One company in Lithuania has produced a stop-motion short to answer that question, and they’ve done it without a person inside the frame. Utilising stop-motion, an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object to appear on its own, it looks as if the wraps went on by itself.
