eMagine Awards

2nd Place in Character Animation

On April 4, during the eMagine awards I won 2nd place for a character animation that I am extremely proud in.

A character animation.

I'm not an animation student.

I'm a graphic designer.

This makes me really proud in my GIF making abilities. 
Look how happy I look. This was me accepting my award. 

 This is a re-edit of my Waterbending GIF earlier this year that I cleaned up and added more frames. I took out the little faces I drew while making this which kind of took out the personality of my drawings in the process but made it look more professional. No worries, I still have the original file save. 

The animation teacher saw my older GIFs and told me to clean it up and add more frames it would hit pretty high in the score board and that's exactly what I did. 
If I was to do anything different, I would have entered in another work which would have been another double exposure with a vector overlay but I didn't know that you can enter in more that one entry to other categories. I plan to do just that next year.
