272. DANCE + DANIEL “CLOUD” CAMPOS: Breathing Life Into Your Work

**This is DANCE + DANIEL “CLOUD” CAMPOS** **Most people find one creative medium and stay. Cloud Campos found dance — then learned stop-motion, animation, PLUS directing because he refused to let a story outrun his tools. He joined me this week to talk about premiering unreleased work at CLOUDFEST, real budgets, and the dog slide that had an entire room convinced it was rotoscoped.** **Spoiler: it wasn't. It was muscle memory.** **We explore:** - **The festival Cloud built himself and WHY** <!--THE END--> - **Why freestyle dance is the perfect training for stop-motion + why every filmmaker SHOULD learn stop-motion** <!--THE END--> - **Emotionally, mentally, + physically what it costs to create Cloud’s worlds** **This one's for the makers who hide their fingerprints in the details, hoping someone will find them.** Watch the full episode here.
