NASCAR Stop Motion | Martinsville Speedway
This is a stop motion video I created for Design Tech 2 last semester. It took me about two weeks to shoot, edit, and create graphics. The track is made from white tape, cardboard, and wrapping paper. This video was inspired by the Double E Cup series by Eric Estepp, a staple of my childhood.

Dissection
Exploring themes of anatomy I used moving collage to experiment with narrative based animation. With mixed media techniques such as claymation, collage, and green screen, I aimed to create a dark atmosphere that enhances the theme.

Smear
This film explores frame by frame animation processes through rotoscope techniques. Taking inspiration from American Traditional tattoo flash sheets, I focused on stylization, color, and bold lines to mimic the aesthetic.
