For video sequences in Henry Akona's production of Robert Lawson's play, Evolve's Tanya Khordoc created intricate models of a watchtower and a pair of Leonardo Da Vinci-style mechanical wings designed to look like delicate Japanese paper and wood creations. The models were stop-motion animated (under the supervision of Tanya and media designer Jared Mezzocchi) to assemble themselves, and were then burned for the camera. The actual burning took place in the living room of Tanya's apartment, which was a hair-raising experience for all concerned. Luckily, the results were smoke-free and very beautiful.
