Who Am I
Hello, my name is Javi and I like to animate. I started my path down animation my second semester of freshman year when I saw my friend animating. The I thought to myself, wow thats cool! I didn't actually say that but I wondered how he could draw so many frames over and over again. So I tried it myself and failed. So I believe that if I started drawing maybe that would make me a better animator yes and no. But in the end I know how to animate, not as well as he does but to my satisfaction.
Who Am I
Although it's sad to sad the this year will be my last year(2021), it has been very fun, at least for the first three years. During my time at NOCCA and Media Arts, I've not only learned about animation but cinematography, storyboarding, lighting, etc. all used to further my studies into animation. We even had some family times when we would have canes Parties and play ping pong. It was a very fun and exciting experience. However it is sad to say the senior year wasn't very enjoyable and mostly because of the pandemic and how it affected my Academic year. But Media as a great opportunity and it will be missed.
At my time at media I found myself using myself as my own character because I could basically put myself in any realm i wanted to plus it was the easiest character design for me to think of
One of my favorite pieces of animation was probably a recreation of a Dragon Ball Super scenes but with my own characters. I wanted to analyze and explore how other animators created amazing movement and action scenes. Also, i never really finish my animations, i like them sketchy
Character Designs For My Thesis
Please excuse me
As I haven't
Picked any names yet
Thesis
Ill be honest here, nothing is finished. This year has been a stressful one and i have had a lot of work to do outside of school such as my job, internships, etc. However, even though this is a brief animatic you can see where this is going. I would really love to finish and make edits on it during the summer since ll be free from the catastrophe of school. I hope you enjoy and please send critiq , they would really mean a lot, even if you don't like the animation. Enjoy!
Storyboard
For my thesis i was trying to create my own short and for me this was very difficult. Usually i only animated short scenes and never an actual story so when I started making the storyboard so many ideas came across my mind. however I was able to come up with something that I was pleased with, at least for the most part. Please look through and email me any comments as i am currently still working on my thesis. P.S the end is a bit iffy, still fixing it trying to see how i want it to end so it's still a work in progress.
