“The Mad Mind of Macbeth”

To be (an actor) or not to be (an actor). That’s a line from a different Shakespeare play (Hamlet), but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. It was another one of Shakespeare’s tragedies, Macbeth, that turned the smoldering embers of my desire to act into a real flame. This is a video that I animated and edited for my high school’s 20th Annual Shakespeare Festival. This was a very special animation to create as getting the opportunity to do scenes from “Macbeth” in the Shakespeare Festival in my sophomore year of high school was one of the events that led me into theatre and began the journey that has brought me to where I am now. Animations were made in Adobe After Effects and edited together with my performance of “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” in Premiere.
