Interview with
2D Animator HAVTZA
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
I wanted to share a more updated and refined version of my process using a new software that has immensely helped me with my creation process. Because my first animation class covers foundational skills using Flipaclip, I wanted my second class to provide a different perspective and approach so those who are new to my class or those who have already taken my first class can all fully enjoy this class.
Question.02
What makes your class different from other classes?
This class incorporates the newly introduced Procreate Dreams, placing a greater emphasis on comprehensive subjects like improving compatibility for your animation projects through a deep dive into character and background design. You also learn how to become “adaptable” between software and even roles within the animation industry, which will most definitely open new opportunities for you moving forward.
Question.03
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?
In the dynamic and competitive animation industry, adaptability becomes a crucial trait. With continuous growth and changes in various sectors, Animators must cultivate creativity, openness, and a dedicated focus. Effective time management and self-assessment are equally crucial. Success hinges on those who combine creativity with practical skills to stand out in this ever-expanding field.
