After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on YouTube for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film! This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible. Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator! You will not be disappointed.
