The content of stop motion films takes time and effort to create. Andrew Robertson, a previous editorial and social media intern at Trend Hunter, discusses his favorite animated short: a beard with a life of its own. The stop motion film captures an everyday man with excessively long facial hair, which falls from his face and proceeds to move about. Each movement in the film required a separate take, demonstrating the amount of hard work needed for this endeavor.
Stop motion films were one of Andrew’s favorite trends while working at Trend Hunter. During his interview, he also discusses how to reset and be creative. Smiling and listening to classical music are two such ways to boost motivation and stimulate focus, according to Andrew. While this may not work for everyone, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try!
