Well the semester is over and I'm officially a college graduate!

First, I must announce that I am now an official college graduate! I just earned my BFA in Animation from California State University, Long Beach and I couldn't be more excited. It has been a heck of a journey but I feel motivated to keep pushing forward and I'll be able to post regularly now. NO excuses!!

This semester was ridiculously busy and I never got around to post updates. Fret not! I have tons to show and I'm really excited to share. I made plenty of progress on my student film (I stuck with my last idea and I discussed it in full detail on a previous post). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish it completely but I've had about a week to refuel and I look forward to continuing and completing my film!  Building my set and puppets took much longer than I anticipated and I ran into a few obstacles while animating but I managed to prepare a trailer to show during my Animation Screening and it included 2 "finished" scenes.

In order to keep some sort of organization I'll be uploading my updates in different posts. I took plenty of pictures to record my progress and I'm more than happy to share my ups and downs with you all! It was definitely a learning experience for me and if my trial and errors can help anyone else on their films then I'd be really happy!

Here are my finalized character designs by the way!
