Nando Costa has been directing animated and live-action films for over ten years, but none are quite like his most recent. In The New America, Costa animates his entire story using a new block of wood for each frame. Over 800 pieces of maple were laser-engraved, largely featuring geometry patterns, trippy abstract forms, and foreboding takes on major American icons like George Washington and the White House. The wood's grain flows by as the short film goes on, and eerie, electronic ambience plays overtop of it all, helping to create an unsettling, awe-inspired look at the advanced landscapes the animation unveils.
