Hot Velcro Action

A film by Michael Cantor

“Creating and filming velcro dots has been my singular obsession for the past two years. The dots are made by punching circles into fabrics and papers of various colors, patterns and textures and then adhering them to 1.5” velcro coins. I also draw, paint and even make miniature sculptures on individual dots. In all I have made over 6000 dots in about 350 varieties.” – Mike Cantor

After 15 years as a sculptural artist, Cantor bought his first digital camera and embarked into the world of stop-motion animation. Hot Velcro Action is Mike Cantor’s first short film.
