Astounding stop-motion pumpkin animation was years in the making

by Larra Morris

Every Halloween, people turn toward the humble pumpkin as their canvas of creative expression, with especially spectacular results coming from those who really care about the seasonal craft. And every once in a while, somebody comes along and raises the pumpkin-carving game to a whole new level.

This year, that recognition has to go to designer and YouTuber Sean Ohlenkamp. He and his team made the stop-motion pumpkin carving video below, and if it looks like it took an enormous amount of effort and a couple of years to make, that’s because it did.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
