✨Project Highlights

  • Falling in love with stop motion. Making these videos was my introduction to stop motion animation. You can really see how I learn and improve over the course of the episodes! I had a lot of creative freedom with these videos and I was given the opportunity to try a lot of new things (and break up a bag of Doritos and spread it on the floor of the video studio).
     

  • Crafting in the conference room. I had a great team of crafters that helped me create all the props for these videos. As the videos grew in scope, we started gathering on Saturdays in one of Penguin Random House's conference rooms. We'd stream shows on one of the TVs while cutting out paper, sewing, molding clay, and twirling pipe cleaners. Not your typical office activity!
