I've just discovered Toben Seymour. He is a director working out of California and has spent his life as animator/puppeteer/sound engineer/director/content generator. What he loves is recreating old school film techniques and this video featured here for The Willowz is no exception. I am still trying to figure out exactly how this is done. This is NOT cgi. The technique is to use light to with an extended shutter lag to burn light images onto each frame. In this way you can paint onto the lens if you are clever enough. But what he is doing here is melding this technique with stop-motion to create an absolutely surreal effect. I'm determined to figure out how he storyboarded this.
