Inside My Head stop-motion set for my second semester Junior year film. The film is about a fly that gets stuck in a girls ear and lives inside her head. Everything was crafted with whatever I could find in my hometown bedroom after my school closed due to the covid-19 pandemic

The design for the space is a reinterpretation of the inside of one's head, with a small brain sitting inside so that the rest of the space is livable like a small, old apartment. The dome is made from cardboard and a metal clothes hanger, then paper-machéd to make it more stable. Vein details drawn with hot glue, then the inside of the dome was painted with liquid latex mixed with acrylic paint to give a fleshy feel

Furniture is made from cardboard, with details of the vinyl record player and doorknobs made from Sculpey oven bake clay.
