They Almost Magically Disappear,

as fruits and vegetables are sliced,

it may seem fairly simple for someone as skilled as stop-motion animator Kevin Parry, to make GIFs like these,

as he slices his way and records the effect of his slicing, through a technique called strata-cut, the Toronto-based animator creates videos that slowly peel away the exteriors of peppers, avocados, and onions,

but it is not as easy as it seems, there is the time factor to take into account,

take too long and the fruit will spoil and discolour, speed really is of the essence, also remember after each cut orI should say slicem the object has to be placed back exactly where it was before the slice is cut,

for a fascinating look at how all of this is done, here is the video, and fascinating it is too, You can see more of his animations on Youtube.
