My name is Amina Toole and my major is animation and motion graphics, I chose this course because im very interested in learning the history of animation and learning about animation from around the world that is unknown to me presently. My ultimate career goal and dream is to go to a school in france called les Gobelins, I want to go there for a masters in animation direction. I recognize that it will be very hard for me to get to this school at my current skill level, but I plan to work extremley hard to be at the quality level, of the work that emerges from Gobelins. Some of my hobbies include cooking, skateboarding, and listening to vinyl records. I also have a rescued black cat with one eye named Patoot, whom I love very much. Some of my favorite animated films are from the 1960s to 90s, I really appriciate older experimental animation for its innovation and creative approaches. One of my favorite animated movies is the yellow submarine released in 1968, it is a movie dedicated to the beetles albumn “The yellow submarine”. Another movie that I find very interesting is a French animated film called fantastic planet released in 1973. Its a relativley strange film, but I really appriciate it for its otherworldly asthetics and experimental funk music soundtrack.
