If I had a penny for every time I've made a gif, I'd have one penny!

Here's my first experiment with stratacut animation for the trip sequence. The process is basically building up a roll of clay and then slicing it up a little at a time. For my next test, I will get better slicing wire...and I might try it with wax. My experimental animation professor says it works better because it isn't as melty and soft.

Also, another huge thank you to everyone who has donated to the film so far. Seven days left and we are already 70% to our goal! If you haven't seen the kickstarter yet, please check it out:
