DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Fleshy Explorations tells a very short tale of curiosity, consequence, and the sinister repercussions of one's actions in a dark and unforgiving world. Stop motion animation is very explorative in nature, I like to experiment and see how different materials behave when I bring them to life one frame at a time. In a sense I place my puppets in my shoes, as I animate them exploring and inspecting different materials I am also doing the same from behind the camera. I like to have my puppets realize their surroundings and especially themselves. I also hope that viewers can see past the grotesque visuals and find humor in the story. I can't count how many times these puppets would make me laugh both while filming and editing. Fun fact, creating and filming Fleshy Explorations is what has inspired the current film I'm working on, which also focuses on themes of exploration and puppets realizing themselves within their environment.
