My 3-page story comic (that turns out to be a Christmas tale.) A soft science fiction about 2 fugitives from a productivist society of the future. They manage to capture energy from space — a flux that recharges their machines and their hearts.

I've got to know and love Brodsky poetry because of my aunt. This poem always made me cry. Crying, I had absolutely no time to realize this project, thought the idea of creating a 360 video haunted me for a long time. The summer of 2020 was especially hard, many nearest people passed away, so did my aunt. I felt that's time for this project dedicated to the theme of leaving.

My aunt Lada was like this small tugboat, dressed in orange. She was a teacher leading her student into the sea of life. They had to take their own paths and part to different jobs and countries, but they always could pass the school by to say hi.  She was there till this summer.

Let's say, she's now heading to another wonderful place. While we'll remember what she gave us. I became an animation artist and created this project in her memory.

Yesterday was my first time animating live for a school in the Philippines. I animated Puss in Boots, since this is a character I have spent almost a year working with at Dreamworks Animation (both feature and TV). I decided to animate a take for them. I showed them how I figure out the acting, my thumbnails, first pass, breakdowns, tie downs and then in betweening. I could only finish the first part for them - and tying down the rest on my own time. It was challenging to talk about every step of my process, what I’m thinking about - and hopefully some useful notes I gave for further animation. I decided to summarize every important note I gave during that lecture. I’ll let you guys know if I could get a public version of that footage sometime.
