Who do we want to be
As we grow older, it becomes more challenging to set clear goals. In our youth, we may be influenced by societal expectations to aim for a certain job or social standing. However, as we get older and gain more experience, our career and life paths become more diverse and personalized. It is easy to get caught up in our daily grinds and lose sight of what we truly want for ourselves. That is why it is important to take time to reflect on where we are in our lives and where we want to go, regardless of our life stage.
Visualizing a dream about deformed terrains caused by a virus that only affects rocks and minerals
The scenery felt quite disorienting during my dream which I could capture only a small subset after waking up.

Frame-by-frame handdrawn FX
I belatedly completed this course on hand-drawn secondary dynamic effects, such as smoke, fire, and fluid.
The exercises were quite time-consuming, which I finally found the time to work on during my sabbatical + holiday break.
While automation would certainly be beneficial, it remains an open research question on how to autocomplete the varied effects that are covered in the course.
