If you're moving away from animation I'd love to see you work on something that pulls together the 3D printer, mold making and the laser (as these are all tools I currently use and I'd love to see how you get them synergising). Thanks for the inspiration - I seriously admire your skillsets.

    When I first got a camera back in the day I made a couple little dump videos for proof of concept. This was before any tech was commercially available for it or video's existed explaining how (KZread was not even monetized yet). It was me a crappy camera, a tripod and a few objects and idea's. I never did anything like them again and instead pursued music but to this day they are my favorite video's because I felt I had made something out of nothing. The Craftsman is right about the sound, the sound is what gave my videos personality and credibility. Great video kind sir! :)

    Autotoggle seems a bit similar to how traditional paper animators will "roll" their paper. Basically just quickly flipping between the last few frames back and forth to make sure the movement looked fluid. Onion skinning is great, but the reason people would do this instead of taking their work to a light table (what onion skinning is actually mimicking) is bc onionskin just shows you where things were, but not necessarily how they look in motion, which is arguably as important. Though that's not to say both aren't incredibly useful! Just know gotta know how to use yur available tools.
