Creepy blend of plasticine and human figures

Paul Driessen The End of the World in Four Seasons  (1995)
nonlinear and a multiple narratives, often experimented with split screens and parallel stories
In Spring, you can see things happening and one square and then repeating from another angle or continuing on in another square.  Is there a story here?  Maybe.

Behind the Scenes of how South Park is made doc
In their first season, they used stop motion techniques and filmed craft paper cut outs of their characters.  It was a time consuming process.  As of 2011, each episode is written, filmed, and recorded in 6 days for delivery to Comedy Central on the last day.  They use Cintiqs and the computers are so fast that the production pipeline can move as quickly as they can write.  One of the staff said they once delivered an episode 4 days early but they don't do that anymore- understandable because they'd have the network all over them to make changes.
