Baptism by Fire

Animated LEGO WW2 series (a.k.a. “Brickfilm”) :: YouTube Series


Stop-motion animation is at the heart and soul of my introduction to video and filmmaking. As a teenager, I started animating LEGO figures and created a YouTube channel. Through that process, I learned editing, VFX, and all other skill-sets that I now use on a daily basis. Recently, I logged back into my YouTube channel and realized it had been 10 years since my latest upload. That sparked something in me to pick it back up. It’s been an awesome experience getting back into it!
