Direct Laser Animation

This blogthang was supposed to be all about direct animation, handmade and
camera-free, but so far I've been mostly distracted by miraculous but immobile direct alchemical graphics and other animates. Fear not seekers! The direct animation revolution rides on full tilt ahead. Can't recall how I stumbled upon these beauteous kindred obsessives in our heartland, but they fill my heart with glee. They are cutting 16mm film with lasers and then taping it back together and doing multiple projector shows and magic. Where can I get my hands on one of them laser cutter thingies - quick!
