My name is Aung Chan Nyein Kyaw. My major is Video Arts and Technology. My career goal is to be a film maker. I took this course because I love animations and cartoons, and I want to know about their history. I like stop motion and anime. I love watching movies, cooking and skateboarding.

My favorite animated film is Pinocchio by Guillermo Del Toro. I like it because I loves stop motion type animation and it involves so many details.

Magic Lantern, to me, felt like the origin of how images shown on television came to be in this current age. Émile Reynaud’s Théâtre Optique felt like the core of all classic cartoon TV shows due to his magnificent device that involved hand-painted, animated, and moving images.
