What I'm really good at

Did another live transition edit: youtube.com/live/reRTmkP...

Only took 130 tries to get it right! Bal had to bounce exactly right and land in the same spot from where I picked it up. Both sides of the mirror had to line up exactly. Also needed to perfectly line up my spin around at the start and end of the take.

This one was hilariously difficult to edit

Did a bit of live effects editing in @instagram Edits. Full vid at youtube.com/live/TVD9BKw...

Going to edit a transition on a live stream later today using the Instagram Edits app. 1pm EST and it'll live on my channel if you can't make it. youtube.com/live/TVD9BKw...

Goal for 2026 is to make some kind of magical edit every week, no matter how small. Want to fight for the crown of most invisible edits 👑

That's a wrap on 2025. Here's to another creative year 🥂

Happy holidays! Probably my favorite stop-motion from the past few years. Really enjoyed creating this one.

This... might actually be super useful for mental math when scaling a 16x9 aspect ratio? Anyone who's exported video knows the numbers 2160, 1440, 1350, 1080, 720, etc. All add up to 9. This is new to me!

Started a podcast about the business of art. More to come!
