Animation is my everything. In a sense, it’s kind of like a crush or a lover: it’s the first thing I think about when I wake up, and what I dream about when I sleep. The pull of my passion for animation is the aspect of storytelling. The way that human experiences and perspectives can be made into characters, translated through color, or manipulated with dynamic transitions. It motivates me because there are so many stories that are yet to be told. Animation is special because it demands attention—it doesn’t allow people to ignore the story it’s telling. This is powerful when it comes to art. Art in its purest form is all about communicating a message. This is true whether it be painting, acting, music, or literature. But too often, the problem that artists and creators face is maintaining attention from their audience long enough for them to understand the intention behind their work. Animation works to solve that problem because it encompasses all art forms. It uses music to establish mood, it uses art to create characters, it uses literature to emphasize points. Animation acts as a tool that takes the messages of creators and transforms them into something that is alive, something that connects with all the senses of an audience in real-time. This absolutely mind-blowing because art and design that was once stagnant can suddenly be seen as something that has life and complexity beyond the 2nd dimension. And what is more powerful than giving life to something that was once thought intangible? The beauty and complexity of animation are ever-growing, and I have only yet explored the surface of it all. I know that my education in Animation and Design will enable me to work with other creators in reaching their audiences and sharing their messages on love, sorrow, and social progress. I know that every day that I am alive and able to listen and experience the stories of others and my own, that my animation will grow, expand, and live a life of its own. And I cannot wait to tell these stories.
