STOP MOTION ANIMATION

In 2012, I was bitten by the stop motion bug - I signed up for a class taught by Will Vinton at the Northwest Film Center. Afterward, I was hooked. I got a little bit ambitious and shot my own short film. It took hundreds of hours to build sets, fabricate puppets, figure out lighting, shoot and edit, create sound design, write and record music, learn new software, and more. Though there’s plenty of room for improvement, I gained a lot of know-how and problem-solving experience, and came away with something I feel pretty good about.

Purgatory Lounge (Below) is the result of that deep dive.
