As part of the project, Radio 1 launched the Meet The Listeners campaign, negotiating with all the mobile operators to drop charges for picture messages to Radio 1 and asking listeners to send in pictures of themselves in order to put put a face to the loyal audience that defines Radio 1.
In a single day, they received 42,000 photos, then used them to stitch together this lovely stop-motion film:
Simple, wonderful.
