Over the years I have sourced out many different suppliers for the arcane materials that are needed to make a stop motion film. Because I tend to stock up at the beginning of production I will often go a couple of years between visits to these establishments. With the rate that retailers go under these days I can’t tell how anxious I get when, like now, it’s time to replenish my resources. So far, everything has been in stock and no one has gone out of business.
