Behind the scenes on our starbucks shoot #sponsored for the new Starbucks BAYA™ Energy drink! 

stucker___ and I practiced combining stop motion and live action for this effect. It took a lot of attempts, but we eventually got it  :)

jperl and I have been playing a lot with this AI interpolation effect in the last few weeks. I’ve been wanting to work on my storytelling - because usually I’ll just make a visual effect and be done with it. But I’ve been inspired by the many dancers and comedians on my feed who are SO good at storytelling in their videos. I’ve been learning from watching their videos - so for this video I wanted to expand on the idea of the “invisible wall push” by giving it more of a plotline 💆🏻‍♀️

If you want to know more about how jperl smoothed out stop motion (with AI editing) see my caption on Jan 27
