Often when I’m working on a project that I’m really passionate about, there’s a handful of moments where the work just works- I solve a problem I thought was beyond my technical skill, I start to see what the final outcome will look like, I pull off a new technique flawlessly- this is a snippet of a boring timelapse that I didn’t end up posting, but it captured that moment where this whole project seemed like something I can actually pull off and I have a little burst of happy energy that comes out as me jumping around like a dork in a closed campus building at 10 pm
