2020-2023 Quarantine Series

In 2020, while quarantining at home I decided to make a stop-motion animation with my daughter's toys to show her some of what you can do with video. Having no idea how long we would be stuck at home, I continued planning and making videos with the gear I had available in my apartment.  I got back to work eventually, but was frequently stuck in hotels on jobs for the next few years. The series became: 4 stop-motion videos, 2 found footage/found audio edits, one hand-drawn animation, and one experimental video shoot/edit. These were all conceptualized and shot after the 2020 shutdown, while I was out of work, or confined to a hotel room, or while my daughter was napping.​
