Nomint's incredible stop-motion for WWF is captured on a thermal camera, by "painting with heat"
Briefly

"This year's technique was by far the most intricate and demanding we've attempted. It felt more like a science experiment at times, and we started referring to the technique as 'painting with heat.'"
"Unlike on previous sets, Nomint had no use for an extensive lighting set up for a camera that only captures variations in heat. The whole behind the scenes process was a race against time to get each shot at the right temperature."
"One of the more surprising elements of the project was all of the imperfections the thermal imaging captured: slight heat gradients created organic textures, and heat thumbprints that appeared when touching the model."
"In an industry speeding toward increasing automation, audiences will always gravitate toward the authentic, and the imperfections here became integral to the film's depth and authenticity."
