Emily
In September 2019, I still had the intention of becoming a stop motion animator. I had reached the realisation that stop motion is a very competitive sector to find any available positions. Therefore, I decided to switch my intended role as a stop motion animator to a 2d animator.
I didn’t find this new role daunting as I was still aiming to become an animator, which meant I could apply the same principles of character animation to my work. Nonetheless, I had to teach myself the essential software and skills for 2D animation, such as ToonBoom Harmony.
As I wanted to continue to incorporate my interest in stop motion animation into my portfolio, I decided to integrate Emily into a miniature live action set.
