Hi everyone, I am Cristina
It is my first semester at bmcc. I am interested in an animation and motion graphics degree. I looking forward to learn about story telling/writing, animation creative process, 2D and 3D design etc. I have a fashion/technical design and product development background. Passionate about art, film also I paint, draw, take landscapes photography, practice yoga, love watching documentaries and hiking.

Hello, my name is Kenneth Diaz, and I am an Animation and Motion Graphics major. I chose this course since it seemed to be more relevant to my degree than the other options. I am eager to learn everything I can about animation in this course since education is crucial. In terms of interests, I resell sneakers in my spare time to earn extra money.  

I really like this animation named “Demon Slayer,” which was developed by Ufotable, Inc studios. I like it so much since the animation methods are outstanding in my view. This animation was created by Koyoharu Gotouge and was published by a Japanese manga studio. The manga was released on February 15, 2016, and the animation on January 22, 2021. 

Hi, my name is Erikson Wang, I’m a student in video art and technology, I pick this course because it’s one of the requirements. my career goal is to become a fashion designer, one thing I like about animation is probably anime, one of my favorite anime is Bleach which is what gets me into watching anime. one thing I like to do is I like to take pictures of places and people.

Hello everyone, my name is Anniyah Starr Kenton! I am a theatre major, and I’ve been going to BMCC since the Fall 2020 semester. I picked this course because I needed an elective and this class seemed the most interesting, fun, and different (plus I enjoy watching Disney and Pixar animated films.) I don’t know too much about animation but am interested in learning more about it. I also enjoy watching a lot of animated movies and some animated shows and cartoons. My career is to be an actress on or off Broadway or even a play! Two fun facts about me is I like watching musicals, sitcoms, and cartoons. I also enjoy doing makeup, babysitting kids, and reading.

Hi my name is William, I’m an Art major. I love to draw and write stories. My draw is to be an art teacher with my own studio. i want to make it cheap for anyone to learn art. I love animation.

I’m Adam Sarh and my major is animation and motion graphics. I chose this course because I love Animation and having the opportunity to learn more about it’s history would inspire me and open my perspective to animation I am unfamiliar with. I’m interested in learning more about experimental animation and generally the various ways you can form narratives. I aim to work in the animation industry as a storyboard artist and create works representing my culture and where I come from, Ghana.

One of my favorite works of animation ever is Avatar: The Last Airbender. I love the Character designs, the story, the backgrounds, and the message. I just feel the show is a perfect balance of everything and the creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko at Nickelodeon Animation Studios did an amazing job making a story with very mature themes.

Hello, My name is Christian Mayellus, a little about myself is that I’m a very positive, charming person and very calm and quiet person, but I observe everything. I picked this course because It is a requirement for my major. I like anime animation but other animation too. My Major is Motion and Animation. My goal is to be able to pass this class and push myself even more challenging than I did last semester and to grow even more in my field later on in the future and with the people around me. My hobbies are that I like to draw and I like going to the gym and working on my purpose.

Hi everyone 🙂 My name is Tal Sharir (she/her).

I’m majoring in science engineering and looking to be a biomedical engineer. I am passionate about this field of study because of the possibilities for better health that can be achieved. My hobbies include reading, yoga, watching TV and listening to music. The reason why I picked this course is because I enjoy watching animation and would love to know more about it and broaden my knowledge in this field.

I’m a huge foody, and I enjoy cooking as well as trying new restaurants all the time. I avoid spicy food, which is why I’m considered the picky eater in my family (everyone in my family LOVES spicy food).

Fun fact about me to conclude this thread- I have a twin sister.

Thank you for reading!

My name is Kaijie but I generally go by Kai. I picked this course because I am interested in animations, mainly anime. There are a few genres of animations that I am into, some of them are action and romance. My major is Animation and Motion Graphics and currently I don’t exactly have a goal. Animation just happens to be the topic that I am into in this school. Some hobbies I have are making origami, a little cooking, and trying voice acting.

One of my favorite anime is a new Chinese anime called Throne of Seal. The character designs and the effects of animation are really cool. Certain animations can make certain moments breathtaking and allow you to see the perspective of the characters which I find very interesting. This anime is an adaptation of a manga written by a famous Chinese writer called Tang Jia San Shao. The studio that made this anime is called Shenman Entertainment that is located in Changsha. It is stated that the company are “based on the production of domestic high-quality animation and film and television products, and has a full range of CG development capabilities such as dynamic cartoons, 3D animations, and virtual idols”

Hello! My name is Taniyah Chisolm and I picked this course because I love animation and I hope to pursue it as a career in the future. My major is Animation and Motion Graphics and this is my last semester here. I love 2D animation and, I am especially interested in how Disney used to make their 2D films and how the process evolved. I also wonder why they made the switch over to mainly 3D as I am not a big fan of it. Some of my hobbies other than animation are crocheting, painting, and playing video games. I am a twin and my sister also enjoys animation. She is an inspiration to me as well and we watch a lot of animations and TV shows together.

One of my favorite recent shows is Inside Job by Shion Takeuchi. It was created only last year. I enjoy the simple characters and their designs and the concept of the show. Most of the time I am not the biggest fan of very simple styles but I enjoy the animation and concept of the show. Unfortunately, it was recently canceled by Netflix which is super upsetting for me. I know Shion Takeuchi has worked for a lot of shows with similar weird concepts like Gravity Falls as a producer and writer which is why I think I enjoy it so much.
