In 2020 he directed and animated Lover4Now, a music video for Groove Armada. Created during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the video shows a long distance relationship between a cat and a dog, who communicate through video chat, each from their owner-abandoned homes. The video was inspired by the way life changed in New York, where Schiedon lived at that time. "I wrote the treatment as New York was shutting down to handle the coronavirus outbreak. For weeks, the city remained eerily quiet, except for the frequent sound of ambulances. An audio recording of that soundscape taken from my roof is what the video opens with."

Schiedon designed and animated the short film The Brown Dog. Premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, the film features the voice recordings of the late Michael K. Williams and Steve Buscemi, and was directed by Nadia Hallgren and Jamie-James Medina.
