Field notes
Filmed by Mick Lagi in April 2020 at a friend’s place, whose cat Minette happened to be moving her head near an EDM track playing nearby. The clip became the CatJAM emote and then a general stand-in for anything mildly satisfying set to music.
At the printer
A slow head-bob mechanism is harder to print than it sounds. Budget time for the hinge.
