my 5 years of animation progress
0:00 - 0:14 : 2018
↳ my first year consisted of various highschool projects. i didnt know a single thing about animation or the program i was using lol
0:14 - 0:42 : 2019
↳ more school stuff. i was introduced to rigging animation (cutout animation) wasn't too fond of that, but i did learn more about the 12 principles of animation! trust the process O_O
0:42 - 1:03 : 2020
↳ the pandemic hit during my second year in the highschool animation program i was in. but it actually helped me focus more on what i was studying.
↳ 0:53 started doing more dynamic action and even created my first ever 3-minute short film called 'insomnia'. my work efficiency was SO BAD. but i finished it nevertheless LOL
( pCBWU0RFlO...)
1:03 - 1:33 : 2021
↳ got used to working online during the pandemic and was part of two group projects under the mentorship of Nickelodeon mentors.
↳ 1:03 the first one being 'Grim Companion', a story about a lonely grim reaper who meets his new best friend. ( • Grim Companion )
↳ did more personal projects with my ocs (rope lady and princess agatha). in my 3rd year in animation, i was part of another Nickelodeon project where i developed a series concept with my co-showrunner, Kimberly Chau (@kim_chowchow). 1:31 i made the walk cycles of the main 5 characters!
1:33 - 2:13 : 2022
↳ created 'sucker' for fun and it went viral! basically the start of my journey here on youtube. things snowballed from there and i started to enjoy animating my OCs more. this was also the year i met @GoodKidband and started working with them! during the tail-end of the year, i met so many cool people through the animation program who i call my good friends today.
2:13 - 3:00 : 2023
↳ my favourite year ever. i found my style and stuck to it!! i did more work with @GoodKidband and created videos for their songs.
↳ 2:22 'Mimi's Delivery Service' is the first ever official music video i've ever animated by myself. i'm so incredibly proud of it ;-; ( • Mimi's Delivery Servic... .
↳ 2:31 also was part of a group animated project where my animation friends and i created a tribute to our animation teacher, Mr. Leduc! ( • Talk Too Much (Group A... ) this was my last year in the animation program that i called my home for 5 years. it was time to say goodbye :'(
↳ this year i've been trying new stuff out and really pushing myself to go beyond my limits. i'm so happy and honoured to create content that people enjoy!
thanks for watching!!

Your art style has come a long way but what's so amazing is even in your early work how well you understood principles of animation and the vital aspects of things like expression, using the environment, etc. You've had a strong grasp on cinematic angles even back in the first reel you showed us! Despite always having a knack for storytelling and a general talent for animation, your growth is also apparent as you've honed your skills. It's truly admirable and inspirational to see how hard you've worked to foster your innate talents into a sharpened skillset. Thanks for sharing with us!

The jump from 2019 and 2020 shows huge growth; kinda like when you unlock a tactic to a game.
Huge difference! I really appreciate how the animation has become so much more substantial. The smoothness of your animations in 2023 is remarkable. I absolutely love them; they frequently show up on my For You Page, and I never miss watching them.
It's so satisfying to see the uptick in quality over time! Especially around when the pandemic hit. You're an inspiration to your fellow animation students

This is one of the most encouraging and inspiring things I’ve ever seen - thank you so much for sharing! You’ve really grown a lot :)
I regret my past and wished that I stop worry about what people think of me in school; even then having more confidents. I realized that the past no longer exists and what matters is to move on. This video is a reminder to me that no artist is simply perfect at the begin, it is a learning curve. I love your animation and character designs ❤🙏

Your animations have a feel-good quality that i can't find in most animated shows or movies today. Considering that you've grown and improved so much in the course of 5 years is truly astonishing to me. Keep at it, and for the time being, we'll be waiting patiently for your new project! Stay strong, and God bless
the sudden pandemic progress was amazing but the way i gasped after seeing the 2022 animation and I went "OMGHSJSJSKSJXAAAA IT'S YOUUUUUUUU-" , it's really amazing. you've come a long way man :’>
Oooh my god, you’re the creator of the ponytail girl! I’ve seen this animation for years here and there (like 9gag) and I actually recognized some of your latest work :) Absolutely amazing work and your progress is just inspiring :)

Whoa well done, I thought that the animation styles through out this video were great and the story about each year and what happened, the friends you have made and the things you have gone through as inspiring and cool, I hope this upcoming year is going to be great for you and I hope that you continue to do what you do and remember to not stress yourself too much
Honestly, this channel is what inspires me to keep going. Seeing the process and time it takes to get this good at animation reminds me that I won't be good immediately, and that I need to keep working and practicing to be what I want to. Truly beautiful how far you've come!
The improvement from 2018 to modern year 2023 it just impresses me and hope you have a great day :) also Quote: you weren't born perfect you were born awesome ❤️💖👍
the determination and hard work you clearly put into developing your art and animation honestly is just so impressive! it’s making me feel inspired to just create, well done
