My Mentor asked me this question this morning: WHEN WAS THE MOMENT THAT YOU REALIZED YOU WANTED TO BE AN ANIMATOR???!!!!,

Woopsss!!!!! This question caught me by surprise and I couldn´t answer. So, I’ve been thinking about this during the hole day and I tried to fiind an answer into my  complex world from my memory, and I didn´t  find an exactly moment in my life where I have decided to be a character animator, rather than I think it was a lot “consecutive moments”  which allowed me to now be part of this dream.

I remember when I was a child, I could stay for hours and hours watching cartoons on my TV (still black and white TV. ) Amazing TV series like the Roadrunner, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Speedy Gonzales, Mighty Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Donald, Goofy, Little Lulu, The Captain Tsubasa, Mr Maggoo, The Pink Panther, the Ant and the Aardvark, Transformers, Thundercats, He Man, the Smurfs, the Flintstones, the Fantastic 4, the Justice League, Defenders of the Earth and GI Joe, Sesame Street, Muppets Show, etc.

I also remember that movies have had great influence in my life, especially movies like Roger Rabbit, Big Fish,  Back to the Future, Star Wars, The Mask, Jurassic Park, Terminator, all Disney Animation Studios particulary Lion King, and of course japanise movies like Totoro, Porco Roso, Castle in the Sky, Nausica, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away. I couldn´t believe that there were people creating stories, fantastic worlds and amazing characters with so much life. Definitivelly I’ve been more sure of what I wanted to do in my life when Pixar Animation Studios gave us such awesome movies.

I’ve been doing animation for 4 years and although I have to work hard I love what I’m doing!

Hugs for everyone…………………….
