Artist hacks a power drill to become a surprising stop-motion animation tool:
A Los Angeles-based artist’s test run for a flip book he was making turned out to be a surprising and inventive method for animating still frames. Federico Tobon attached a reel of 24 simple, hand-drawn pages to the chuck of a drill, generating an endlessly spinning sequence of frames. As Tobon engaged the drill’s trigger, the bit rotated the pages 360° and animated the cycle of otherwise static drawings.
