My name is Mariel Flores I am 22 years old and my major is multimedia and design. I chose this course so that I can get a better understanding of how animation works and how much it has changed and came along the way throughout the years. My career goals is to find a good path in graphic design and help businesses or any one to get their message or design out there. A few fun facts about me is that I have a cat named goose, I recently got my bartending license and have been at bmcc for a year now.

Steven Universe
One of my favorite animated shows is Steven Universe because there is so much diversity in the characters and animated freedom. It was made by Rebecca Sugar and first came out on November 4th, 2013. It was produced by Cartoon Network who is also one of the goated studios in my eyes when it comes to animation. The graphics for this show were always so abstract and different. It was such unique Animation. As you can see in the picture, there are all different kinds of shapes and figures to represent the gems and people. The coloring of the animation for every character always had different splash of something to it. There was always diversity in the way they looked, acted, spoke, and lived. For Example, Garnet was a character that was a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire gems, and the way it was animated.

Steven Universe is Truly one of my favorite animated shows because it just showcases so much animation and CGI freedom! If you were to come up with a gem to create, it could most likely be in the show because that’s how much freedom there was.
Prompt 1
My name is Emma. The reason I choose this course is that I have a great interest in animation. The animation was one of the factors that accompanied and influenced me growing up. I would like to know the process of transition from 2D animation to 3D animation. My major is digital marketing. My current goal is to transfer to City College after I finish my BMCC program. My future goal is to become a web designer. My favorite food is noodles. I like to assemble and play with Lego bricks and collect anime figures.
An animated show that I really like is Jujutsu Kaisen. It has a good story, interesting characters and good action scenes. Their use of humor is well placed in an otherwise dark and serious theme. A litmus test that I like to use is if any of the main characters are killed off. If they do, you know that the stakes are real, otherwise the story kind of gets monotonous and mundane.
My Favorite animated film is ” Howl’s Moving castle ” by Hayao Miyazaki which was made in Japan around 2004 then came to the USA in 2005. What was most interesting about this film was the graphics and color of the movie that captures your eye. What also made the movie was how the story telling was made and made you relate and connect with other characters.Studio Ghibli also making different animated films that makes you want to create and do story telling.
