I am majoring in Animation and Motion Graphics, I’m planning to learn 2D drawing and 3D modeling this year and become a freelance illustrator, an animator or a 3D modeler.

Hello, my name is Cassandra Cortez and I am majoring in Animation and Motion Graphics.
I mainly chose this course to expand on ways I can express myself through my art than just a still image. I enjoy the Studio Ghibli art style and semi-realistic digital/traditional art. My main goal is to become a freelance artist/animator and share my animations with others. Oh, I also have two 5-year-old cats and I enjoy making body-horror illustrations. <3

Name an animated film or tv show that you like. – A huge fan of The Simpsons. If I had to pick a film I truly enjoyed it would be Ponyo.
Why do you think you like it? The Simpsons because it is very funny and it talks about a lot of common issues during its time period. Ponyo I love because of the detail in the film. They put in a lot of work in that film.
Is it the characters, the animation techniques? The characters in The Simpsons are all great. Homer Simpson and his son Bart are hilarious. In Ponyo, definitely the animation techniques.
Include this in the journal post. Research the studio/artist that created it as well as the date it was created and include this information in your post. Studio Ghibli I know created the movie Ponyo. The Simpsons originally started on Tracey Ullman show as a short series. Once the show made it’s official debut, it was under Fox Studios.

Prompt 2: Name an animated film or TV show that you like: I have a lot but let’s go with Madoka Magica.
Why do you think you like it? Is it the characters, or the animation techniques? The overall art style of Madoka Magica will never fail to captivate me because of its blend of Anime and Russian-inspired art. The symbolism and meaning behind the story, the literature, and psychological and horrific elements. The animation is just so fluid, gorgeous, and whimsical, and whenever it blends I just find it amazing.
Research the studio/artist that created it as well as the date it was created and include this information in your post: The anime was released by Studio Shaft. It was released as a 12-episode Anime in 2011, then later re-released as two separate animated feature films with better visuals both being released in 2012, following it up with a sequel film in 2013, and another upcoming sequel in 2024.

What is your name? Hi my name is Jovany Fuentes
Why did you pick this course? I have always had a love towards animation and cartoons growing up. It was a requirement to take a World Culture and Global Issues course. I said why not take a course which I have a love and passion for.
Is there a particular genre/era/type of animation you’re interested in learning more about? I am a huge fan of the Studio Ghibli works. Obviously, a huge fan of Disney and their Pixar movies. I would definitely like to learn about the World War 2 cartoons. I know that Looney Tunes used a lot of propaganda during that time period.
What is your major? I’m currently a Financial Management major.
What are your career goals? My goal has always been to get a job in Business/Finance/Banking in the city. BMCC offers so many opportunities with internships. It’s a great opportunity to take advantage of.
Include a few fun facts about yourself (hobbies? pets? favorite food?) I’m a huge soccer fan. My favorite team is Bayern Munich. I went to see them play live last year in Germany. It was definitely one of my greatest experiences. I love to work out and go to the gym. I have a cat. He’s a chubby guy his name is Paco. He kind of looks like Garfield. I love Asian style food. Specifically a huge fan of Korean hot pots. I love spicy food.
heya! my name is michelle, i am majoring in animation and motion graphics. i have always been fond in the arts and i have been drawing since forever (i got serious about art in 10th grade). i picked this course because i love animated movies, shows, and shorts and i want to know the history of animation from earlier animation, walt disney, to now. a specific era i want to learn more about is disney renaissance, propaganda (controversial but i still wanna learn about it), anime, studio ghibli. i am an artisit who loves movies and shows and for my career goal is to create my own animated series and movies but independently not in the industry (tragically) and the reason why i want that to be my career choice is because the amount of movies and shows i watched has given me inspiration, comfort, and saved me. And i just want to see people say that my work has inspired them like how movies and shows have done to me.
