Behind the Scenes
Start to finish, animation takes a wide set of skills, including writing, storyboarding, fabrication, modeling, puppetry, lighting, cinematography, VFX, and many many more. Among all of these, animation is what I focus on. It's where I've put years of my life into developing, and it's where I get the most excitement from the challenges I face. The whole process of producing an animation is important, but animating is where I thrive.
