To tell the story of a sledding mishap that happened when I was young (may or may not have cracked my sister’s sled and a neighbor’s tree in half at the same time), I created a series of cartoon illustrations. Those characters were sketched and scanned, and then brought to life in Photoshop.

I then printed the characters and created a stop-motion film that included a narrated voice recording, music, as well as hand-drawn type and other small, moving elements.
