The Routine

I made this stop motion short film about a bird and his peaceful nighttime routine. I draw lots of inspiration from the popular stop motion series, “Shawn the Sheep”. As I kid, watching the show made me feel at peace and calm before bedtime. To start, I constructed the two sets you see in the film using cardboard and recycled materials I found in my house including old batteries and loft over cloth. Other interesting pieces you see throughout the set include a lamp I found from my sister’s dollhouse, and the fireplace, which I constructed using painted cotton balls, and a led light. I used a stop motion app called Zing Studio to record my film. I spent months tweaking and perfecting the sets so they looked their absolute best for filming. The whole process of creating, filming, and editing took around a month in my spare time.

I believe creativity means using your hands and mind to create something that is original and special to you. Being able to express your emotions through any form of art is important as it opens the possibilities for you to create anything.
