About
Hello! I am a 2D Animator, I specialize in character animation and effects animation; and I am familiar with both animating using rigs and animating hand drawn. In the case of animation programs, I am most familiar using Toon Boom Harmony but I also know how to use Clip Studio Paint. I also am familiar with using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Toon Boom Story Board Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

This is the final project of the Classical Animation Course in Vancouver Film School. For this project, we were given maximum 10 weeks to completely animate the entire short film which has 22 Scenes. This short time frame required me to be smart with how I approach every scene, especially since I needed to have 2.2 scenes done per week on average. In short the tight turnaround time given to me, forced me to be smart with how I handled everything. animator #shortfilm #handdrawnanimation #2Danimation
