Baby, I'm on Fire.

 Hello fellow internet dwellers, and welcome to a personal space that just became not so personal. If you have no idea where I'm going with this, let me reveal a bit more to you. My name is Radhika and I am studio art major with video as my concentration. I'm 24 years old and some crucial information you all should know, I'm an Aries. I love creating and getting lost in the process. I would like exposure to all forms of art, hence my decision to take 2-D computer animation. 

A quick overview of my past: 6 years. 6 long years of struggle, denying my passion for the arts, led me on a path of misery called chemical engineering. It wasn't until my 23rd birthday when I took a short pause to ask the universe the universal question, "why". Although this inquiry was only met with silence, the silence seemed to speak volumes. I interpreted this volume as a sign to get out and pursue the absolute heck out of the arts. So here I am. Finally doing exactly what I want and taking my first 2-D animation class (shout out to Professor Dana)! I am beyond excited and can't wait to start learning the basics. While I have no prior experiences with animation, I do love watching animation series'. Some of my favorites include: 

• Ricky and Morty
• Adventure Time
• Regular Show
• Bob's Burgers
• Tokyo Ghoul
• Parasyte
• Jujutsu Kaisen
• Fruits Basket (I know I'm a loser but this anime always pulls at my heart strings and the animation of the reboot is A++)
• ANYTHING Ghibli 
• BIG MOUTH
• Bojack Horseman
• Daria 
• ATLA and LOK (c'mon those are obvious ones!)
• Cyanide and Happiness 
• Some parts of Broad City (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ9aoio2rAY)
• Over the Garden Wall

I should probably stop there. 

I really want to learn basic animation, like loops/cycles or boils, (I think that's what they are called) because I want to overlay those on live action film. 

 

Well that's all for now. See y'all later.
