One A Night

An animated diary of my last semester at university.

Inspired by the Brothers McLeod, I challenged myself to animate a loop every night during my last semester at AUArts.

Over time I was more actively aware of rhythms.

Some days were a chore, but mostly my nightly animation routine was an hour (or two, or three) to decompress and reflect on the day.

El Monterey actually DM'd me after I dedicated the burrito gif to them.

I can look back now and remember the time I... embarrassed myself in class, ate a microwave burrito for dinner at 3 am, or listened to Bauhaus for 3 hours straight instead of working.
