I was approached by the Digital Marketing team at the Guggenheim Museum to create a video celebrating the 56th anniversary of their Frank Lloyd Wright building, which first opened to the public on October 21, 1959.
If you had the Guggenheim Museum all to yourself, what would you do?
To be able to create something inside one of the most iconic museums of the world… What a beautiful challenge.

One small problem: I had never played the piano before. So I asked the composer Sebastian Kauderer to create a piano melody for a 15 second Instagram video.

By using stop motion technique—(Frame by Frame)—*321 frames total.
It was all shot and edited with an iPhone 6 using the Apple Watch as a remote control in order to snap the photos.
