This lyric video is inspired by the song “Fire Truck” by Andy Shauf. Each frame is Risograph printed using a faux CMYK method and many of the images were printed multiple times, to give each frame a unique registration and look.

If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead by James Blake (2023)
This lyric video for “If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead” by James Blake was an exploration of the impact that motion can have on the feeling of typography. The words refelct the fast-paced, stuttering sound of the music by jumping across the screen. In contrast, the slow, flowing movement of the background reflects the heavy synth instrumentals in the song.
Risograph Animation (2023)
For this animation, I edited frames of stock footage in Photoshop, and then printed each frame with a Risograph printer before scanning them back into a digital format and piecing them together. Throughout this process, I tried to stray from my standard “perfectionist” approach. I embraced any mistakes or registration errors and the final output even celebrates the mess-ups by showing the desired outcome first, and then 3 other misprints.
