I feel like there's a lot of drama in weather. It's something that's done really often in live action, so I figure, why not translate that to animation?

Having animation as this time-based medium made a lot of sense for me, and then stop motion was even more fun because it was so hands-on and physical in a way that I really liked.

The lighting changes were definitely the biggest thing and the biggest reason that people don't shoot stop motion outdoors.

I was one of those kids that always drew all the time.

I really like incorporating elements, and it's also difficult to do in stop motion, which means sometimes I run into problems.

I grew up camping with my family. We took so many trips. We had an RV, actually, when we were growing up. We did a ton of camping trips and went across the country.
