SARAH JOHNSON

I am an animator and editor with a focus in mixed media, stop-motion, compositing, and experimental editing. My versatility between mediums – motion graphics, puppetry, and illustration – allows me to be adaptive and curious with my work, as well as provides me with a wide range of technical experience on editing softwares. Animation is an unlimited medium, remaining playful and reflective of its source material while making any story a delightful challenge of wits and exaggerations for the artist. I hope to continue this legacy by creating clean, clear, and clever compositions.
