Putting a character into its first initial poses is what excites me, because it is the beginning of something that can be great. Using the principles of animation passed down by the great animators before me, I begin to bring emotion and movement to a once lifeless puppet. As an animator my ultimate goal is to bring joy to people. Happy endings don’t always happen in real life but through my art I want to give hope and courage to my viewers, just like animated films did for me. Sharing those wonderful feelings through the characters my ability brings to life is my inspiration.
