Stop-motion animation is not just reserved for drawings and cut paper - artists/filmmakers are constantly challenging and reinventing what are "acceptable" materials to use for the art form. In this example EVERY FRAME (24 frames per second) is a unique piece of laser engraved wood with a unique image. Pay attention to the constantly changing wood grain in each shot for a telling hint of the process. What other materials might be interesting to experiment with? Would a non-drawing process be harder or easier?
