I always wanted to create my own animations so that I have more freedom as a filmmaker. It gives me more control about the visuals, how I tell a story to a viewer, or how I create a transition between 2 scenes.
I have the most fun brainstorming about it and how I could make it work. My intention with using animation in my films is to keep a steady flow without losing the context of the movie. It is always extremely satisfying and addicting when it all comes together in the end.
