What is "strata-cut animation"?

Strata-cut animation is a technique where layers of materials, such as clay or foam, are sliced or cut to create movement in animation. In this process, the animator creates a sequence by progressively cutting through a block of material and capturing each slice as a frame. When these frames are played in sequence, they produce the illusion of smooth motion as the layers appear to shift or change. This method allows for unique visual effects and is often used to create intricate, textured animations with a distinctive, layered look.
