Cozy Dumpster Fire
A video, in the style of those fireplace videos for your living room, except it's a dumpster fire.

The dumpster itself was purchased from Dumpsty and dirtied up and modified. The rest is made from air dry clay, wood, tile grout, sand, paper, garbage bag, and acrylic paints. Shot on iPhone 12 mini. Edited in Shotcut.

Role: Designer, modeler, videographer, editor

lmao, though it's an odd-looking (to my eyes) dumpster.
Will round 2 be a burn barrel?
Maybe a pot plant in a pot hole, set on fire?
(Yes, seen it. Fire call ride-along. On a freaking bridge, even.)
... can you tell I'm in Oregon?

Truly, it's the video for our times.

Play it on a loop when the news isn't on and see whether you can tell the difference!
