Project Synopsis

I worked as a Junior Builder on the Monster High music video set to a song by Lady Gaga, contributing to the construction of bold, sparkly, abstract geometric environments that defined the video’s look. As part of the build team, I helped bring these stylized sets to life through hands-on fabrication, supporting a highly graphic, fashion-forward aesthetic that matched the energy and attitude of both the music and the Monster High brand. The project was a fast-paced, collaborative build that emphasized visual impact, texture, and playful design.

The Monster High Sets

These portfolio images showcase a series of miniature sets built for the Monster High music video “Gaga for Ghouls.” The environments were designed as bold, abstract worlds—highly geometric compositions that blend flat graphic planes with sculpted three-dimensional elements. Sharp angles, layered shapes, and graphic silhouettes create a playful sense of scale, all carefully staged to camera using forced perspective to make the miniature builds feel expansive and dynamic.

The sets embrace a heightened, stylized aesthetic that matches the energy of the video: graphic, colorful, and unapologetically fun. By combining practical miniature craftsmanship with clever optical tricks, each setup transforms simple materials into striking visual moments that feel larger than life. The result is a collection of imaginative, camera-driven environments that celebrate experimentation, strong design, and the joy of building playful worlds by hand.

Project Synopsis

In 2014, I had the incredible opportunity to work on “Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas,” a whimsical stop motion animated holiday special that reimagined the beloved Will Ferrell classic with a fresh musical twist. This project was more than just a job; it was my first look behind the curtain of creating movie magic.

As we brought the film to life through intricate puppets and vibrant sets, I marveled at how each frame was painstakingly created. My small role in shaping this animated world ignited my passion for storytelling and collaboration within the animation industry. Working alongside talented artists and craftspeople, I experienced firsthand the sheer joy of crafting animation by hand.
