"The shoot at the wall was a great experience and was a first for me in a couple of ways. It was my first time directing a crew on a live shoot and my first time doing pixelation (stop-motion with human models). My expertise
is in 2D puppet animation (shadow puppets and paper doll) and 2D
computer animation (Flash, After Effects) and I have rarely had the
opportunity to work with a crew.

The
shoot went surprisingly smoothly. I came in knowing what I wanted to
get on film but not having a technical plan on how to execute it. Seven
members of S.E.A.T. showed up and worked it out with me, quickly coming
up with a plan on how to get my vision captured. I felt like our
collective experience really came together to make it a fun learning
experience.

I
am also so very grateful to the members of the community that came out
to lend a hand. The five of them were so patient and good-natured
during the slow and demanding process of animation.
This experience gave me much inspiration to finish the project which is a music video for
Saskia Delores, the rest of which will mostly be stop-motion with painted 2D puppets. As
an added benefit, it made me excited to work with teams and live shoots
in the future, directions I have long wanted to explore."
