My Animation Career
I first started animation when I was thirteen years old. Ever since then, I have been studying animation from books, movies, and video games. I find animation to be fun and entertaining not just from doing it, but by being creative while doing it. Animation is all about bringing a character to life and that is what I enjoy about it. It's fun working on animation and watching the end product as well. I also do modeling and lighting projects I have added some modeling projects on the my projects page. I have even gotten into learning how to make games and made one of my own.
As Walt Disney once said, "I would rather entertain people and hoped that they learned something instead of teach people and hoped that they were entertained."
