WHAT SPARKED YOUR LOVE FOR ANIMATION?
In late elementary school — around fourth or fifth grade — I started doing claymations so I’d take my iPad and prop it up on my desk and with clay I would make monsters eating each other or would make an orange and then squirt it into orange juice.
DO YOU CONSIDER ANIMATION AS A HOBBY OR POTENTIAL CAREER PATH?
I really want to pursue it in the future. I have always been a really creative person and if I had to choose one medium to do the rest of my life it would definitely be animation. I’ve always known I wanted to do something in the creative field when I got older but I think I actually have a chance at this.
WHAT IS YOUR ANIMATION PROCESS?
Usually it starts with hours or just a long period of time where I can sit and think. Sometimes it’ll just come to me if I hear a certain song that I really like or if I see something in the real world that I want to turn to animation. But first, I just need to get a really good idea that I’m excited enough about to get me through the next hours and hours of animating that I’ll do. Usually when I do an animation, it’s easy for me to sit down for hours and hours and animate.
