Nando Costa is burning his way toward the perfect Kickstarter. He’s making a unique animation using a laser engraver to precisely cut each frame of a film on a piece of wood.

Costa has been directing animation for over 10 years and we enjoy his clean style, so we are looking forward to seeing the movie.
