“Babies”, 2026
 For Sam Milton’s first show featuring his then-newly formed band, he handed me a camcorder and asked if I could record his performance. I took that duty on with great pride, and decided to use the footage I had to create a semi-documentary featuring his music and interviews with available band members. I created several animations for this video based off his song titles in a variety of different methods (”Babies”, “When The Dog Comes to Bite”, and this puppet intro.) For this clip, I hand drew a baby walking using traditional 2D animation techniques. I scanned each frame of the baby in and set it against an animation comprised of Gansai paint spreading across paper. The “Babies” text is also hand-animated using traditional techniques. The watercolor animation was the result of over 100 individual frames, composed in a stop-motion fashion.
