The video shows a lifetime passing in a brief moment. Clocks spin, seasons shift, and we see familiar people and events repeating. As the viewer looks at the clouds, they see a light that symbolizes death. In the end, different moments and characters come together to form the viewer's face, highlighting our interconnectedness.&nbsp; This video has played at both the Kaboom Animation Festival and on Lowlands TV. I want to release a full project rundown on this eventually but for now heres a fun experiment that came out of experimenting for this video. Want more projects?&nbsp; https://lexiwind.com/Leiden-Short-Film-Festival Fri, 03 Oct 2025 13:59:28 +0000 LexiWind https://lexiwind.com/Leiden-Short-Film-Festival &nbsp; Leiden Film Festival wanted to use existing footage from their short films to create animated posters. I designed this layout to highlight certain films, and, as a playful experiment, I left the original audio from all the videos playing simultaneously. Strangely enough, it kind of worked. I asked them what they thought, and true to the spirit of an experimental film festival, they loved it, so we went with it. Here’s 3 of the posters back to back. https://lexiwind.com/Weval Fri, 18 Apr 2025 09:27:35 +0000 LexiWind https://lexiwind.com/Weval .video-row { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; /* allow wrapping on small screens */ justify-content: center; /* center the items */ gap: 20px; margin: 60px 0; } .video-wrapper, .poster-wrapper { width: 45%; /* roughly half the container */ max-width: 900px; position: relative; padding-top: 56.25%; /* 16:9 aspect ratio for videos/poster */ } .video-wrapper iframe, .poster-wrapper img { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; object-fit: cover; /* fills container nicely */ } @media (max-width: 900px) { .video-wrapper, .poster-wrapper { width: 100%; /* stack on mobile */ padding-top: 56.25%; } } .video-description { max-width: 1200px; margin: 40px auto; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; text-align: center; } &nbsp; Some album announcements and visualizers I’ve done for Weval.

I also hoped that by forcing myself to listen to this quote over and over, it would get into my subconcious and help me through the phase of being disappointed by my work.

I started a floating popsicle business on a motorized raft made of trash.&nbsp; Long story short, it got very popular, and after about four months the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department changed a law and came after me.&nbsp; I thought it would be fun to make some merch for my slain business.My raft was made of pallets and covered in astroturf, lawn flamingos, and inflatable palm trees. Each sticker represents a different prominent element of the business: the sun, popsicles, fruit, palm trees, and flamingos.
