One of the things I love about working in this medium is the hands on approach to problem solving. Every artist will have their own unique bag of tricks to making the stop motion magic happen, and I think that's really cool as an expression of that person's brain and style. ⠀ 🧠⠀ In the case of this shot, my bag of tricks included monofilament, a variety of knives, pre-shredded cheese, a few slivers of fake cheese I cut and painted from wood, and a couple of hours of patience animating while The Smiths kept my ears company late at night. ⠀ 🧀⠀ The final results are always playful but part of the fun is in what never gets seen - the problem solving! Joy + problem solving = stop motion magic. ⠀ 〰️ TLDR: WATCH ME CUT THE CHEESE, YAY 🧀💨! 〰️ BTS work for the "86'd" episode of Chef Slang by @chefsfeed #chefsfeed (at Oakland, California)
