Making by Breaking
summary
A maker turns everyday junk into stop-motion assemblies, claiming that you can start with a taped phone and a slideshow app and learn frame rates as you go. Works include 35 videos for the Tinker Friday series, a hand-built air‑dancer made from trash that earns a Make feature and a conference invite, a commissioned film for Adult Swim, and a sponsored piece for iFixit plus 50 limited prints that sell out and a Vimeo Best of 2020 award. Tools range from borrowed cameras and glass to repurposed cans and Arduino kits.
