A Woman Scorned

This is the first short film that I wrote, produced, directed, and edited. My talents are David and Kelsey Pyles, both of whom have a wonderful marriage and are two of the sweetest people I know. The song I used in this short film is Paradise by Ezra Vancil, a very talented musician, who was kind enough to give me permission to use his music. Check out his music at ezravancil.bandcamp.com, ezravancil.com and https://www.youtube.com/user/ezravancil!

Susannah

I edited this film for a class with Full Sail University. We received the raw, unedited video clips from production, many of which did not have any sound. We had to put them together to tell the story and remove any foul language. I hope you enjoy this film!

History of Stop Motion Animation

This history project was a school assignment for my bachelor's degree in Digital Cinematography with Full Sail University. I chose to stop motion animation because it was one of the first film techniques that I had ever seen as a child that was one of the main reasons I wanted to be a filmmaker.
