I've been growing my dreadlocks for five years, seven if you count how long i was growing my hair. I knew i wanted to make it an epic dismissal and called upon my wonderful friend and experienced animator, Jesse Bayliss, to help me create my vision of a circus themed, stop-motion video. She flew in from LA to Portland to make sure this video was done right! My wonderful friend here in Portland, local fashion designer Emily Kathryn Carol (Emily Adams), assisted with the animation, makeup and clothes. It took nine hours of shooting to create this video and by the end i was quite manic, to quote Emily. It was such an intense spiritual release to dismiss all that energy. An endless thanks to Jesse Bayliss and Emily Kathryn Carol for sticking it out with me and shooting this awesome video! I hope you all enjoy it! Much love, friends. Namaste.

  • Amazing. Ass. Video. And I loved the colored dreads, they're beautiful. What a way to remember them! :)

  • Awesome!!!!!!!

    That is attitude!!

  • @BridgetteJeannx but amazing stop motion :D

  • I dont know if i had dreads for that long and cut them I would have cried tho. ;o

  • Whoa, this is awesome. I thought I'd seen all of the dread cutting videos on YouTube before I cut mine but JUST saw this as a suggestion after I uploaded my stop motion dread cutting. Not nearly as professional as yours! Also, your dreads were amazing.

  • very nice idea of cutting your dreads in a spectacular way!

    take a look at my stop motion too on my channel!

  • wow! nice creation!!
