Breakfast

A hand-colored stop-motion portrait of a woman whose ordinary breakfast slowly comes apart into a sequence of emotional states.

At a breakfast table, an ordinary morning opens into an inward drift. A woman moves through shifting states, eating, feeding another, accelerating, stopping, hiding, until the logic of daily life fragments. Shot on an iPhone, printed frame by frame, hand-colored in crayon and re-animated, Breakfast traces identity as it is rehearsed, disrupted, and quietly reassembled through small gestures and objects.

PROCESS / MY CONTRIBUTION

I developed the concept and screenplay, directed and shot the footage, then printed, hand-colored, scanned, and re-animated the frames.
