Woodcarving Stop motion

The project seen is called "Grapes and Leaves" and is a Berkeley Woodcarving instructor's beginning project for new students. This is a beginning project because it uses most of the tools you will need in more advanced carving (V tool, U tool, stop cuts, .etc). To Make this particular Grapes and leaves appear to be carving by its self we took exactly 3233 pictures. Sheri (the woodcarver) would break up a cut which would normally be one movement into (depending on the length) 3-5 small ones. After each small cut she would have to remove her hands from the frame and I would make sure no stray dust was in the shot. One can imagine what 3233 of those must have been like.
