Final Animation Project - The Time Capsule

The Time Capsule

This project based on a secret interview with my boyfriend about a childhood memory was definitely a labor of love. There were a lot of bumps along the way, but I'm happy with the concept. Enjoy - and please don't mind the poor resolution in some bits!

No Sharpeners Allowed

A (Eerie but) Lazy Day

This is my final animation. I played with paper in a few different forms and although there is still much I'd like to change, I am satisfied with the end result. Enjoy!

The Bird and the Hour Animated Poem by Yael Ginossar

This is an animation inspired by the poem 'The Bird and the Hour' by Archibald Lampman. The cutout animation over a light-table creates a playful contrast of black and white, and different texture to illustrate the moods of the poem.

Don't Make the World a Nightmare

This video tends to show the importance of recycling. A small action can make a big difference to the world. And you and I are all responsible to make the planet beautiful.

Our Future. A Child's Wish. Blake Moskowitz

This is video shares what children hope for the future. The poem was written by a 6 year who was asked to express her hopes for the future. Her older sister, 7, played an original piece that she felt matched the pictures and the words of the poem. The vision was created by me as well as the sidewalk art. Photos were captured by the little girls father. I hope you enjoy!

Equations

I honestly can't remember how I came up with the idea for equations. At first I wanted to do something about the relationship between my sons but it evolved into the additions and subtractions of my life.

One Day with My Brother Al

A few years before his death, we interviewed my grandfather about his life. During the interview we discovered many stories about his life that were new to us. One of the stories he told was about his older brother Al.

At the time of the story, my grandfather was a little boy and Al was still in high school. Told with my grandfather’s dry sense of humor, this new old story tells an amazing act of courage with a slight twist on the ending. 

Frog Prince

Frog Prince is a short poem that redirects the old adage, "kiss a frog, meet your prince."  I wanted to try and swap characters giving the agenda of the poem more meaning.  Maybe I should have called it Gay Frog Prince, because the underlying theme here is that, "someday my prince will come ... even if I have to kiss a frog".

Enjoy,

This is a video collaboration between myself and the 11-Year old girl that I am honored to nanny.  The poem (authored solely by 11-Year old Anjali) was inspired by a conversation we shared on the topic of authenticity and growing up.

GENESIS: A Pop Stop-Motion Creation Poem

GENESIS: A Pop Stop-Motion Creation Poem

A modern take on the creation narrative, 

this icon-filled film brings life to brands and pop-items that make consumers come alive. 

This work colorfully illustrates the moving cycles of consumption 

and the energizing, yet fleeting qualities of our pleasures. 

It acts as a metaphor to humanity's greater impression on earth.
