GOALS
As an animator my goals are to always bring quality and speed to my work, to know which sacrifices and which risks to take. I would like to evolve animation to more than just constant flailing and flashy colors. Animation should show personality and other human emotions that really bring it to life. It should be believable and entertaining at the same time. My ultimate goal as an animator is to develop my own studio that provides these qualities the most efficient way possible to my clients.
