In 2021 I made my short film “Metamorphoses” about an autistic child. Years passed and it got awards and nominations. I am very thankful to everyone who supported me.
If you haven’t watched it, please enjoy. There are English subs btw!
I want to make more short films, but don’t have much time since I became mom. But I have some plans I hope to recreate in the future.

One thing I miss about 2D animation from Disney is the facial expressions.
Like take Dr. Facilier for example!
He is well a very expressive character!
Each scene we see him in you can see what emotion he's feeling.
Like in this scene where Naveen is brought to him by the shadow demons.
He didn't expect them to make such a ruckus and therefore was surprised.
And in the scene where he gets dragged down to hell or at least before.
We can see the fear in his face!
Like what I'm trying to say is 2D animation was very expressive back in 2009 and the 90s, 80s, 70s etc.
We can see alot more of the emotions flowing through the face of the character's and understanding what they feel!
While I'm not saying 3D is bad or anything but I do miss such animation alot!
Like okay 3D is very fun and cool but it does get old sometimes and you get the rest.
Like we all grew up on such animation and it was very interesting and basically we took inspiration form that and created our own animations!
I am very excited for the new Wish movie that Disney is making for November!
Like it has 3D and 2D animation!
So anyways hope you understood my opinion and hope you're having a good day!

Pei, explanation and little details
Hi! so, this post is about the animated short that I recently made, Pei!
You can watch it here! https://youtu.be/PnLm472c5CY
First off, the idea of the main character is based on the philosophy of the yin and yang the head of Pei and its counterpart are shaped like the yin and yang on the xiantian taijitu, along with their colors, Pei is the yin, a calm and shy being, however, he is a lost half, and feels incomplete without its yang, this is also based on one of the rules of the Yin and Yang, they are codependent parts and one cannot exist without the other.
The actual short is about human relationships, I made the characters so that you especifically can’t tell many details about them, exept their personalities, so that you can’t tell their gender, their occupation, or even the type of relationship these two have, this has a purpose, I want to represent any kind of relationship, be it with a man/woman or any other gender identity, same with the type of relationship, it can be lovers, or a father and his son, two friends or even rivals, all of these details are vague UNTIL the spectator defines what they are, if you are watching this and think they are lovers, both of them men, then you will be correct, this is open to interpretation, and if you happen to identify something, I will be so happy that you did, if you did, consider telling me what you interpreted :) I will be so grateful.
In this story, Pei wants to revive his counterpart by finding their missing piece, however that is not enough, he must go further and give a piece of themselves to revive them, which is scary to Pei, it frightens them. In the climax, Pei gets hurt by a blast while trying to fit both pieces in the cavity, after this, Pei looks scared to try again, this portrays fears in relationships, fear of hurting and getting hurt, and in the process, isolating one self and not trying again.
However, Pei looks determined to give it their all for their counterpart, sacrificing a part of themselves, in the end they create a symbiosis and become one, a stronger self together, a peaceful but strong being, because at the end, that’s the payoff from effort in relationships.
I hope you enjoyed this short :) I know it’s not the best, I’m looking to improve so much more, but I hope at least you got something from this experience as I did, thanks for watching and reading, have a wonderful day!

I saw this one recently, it's a very interesting film which is a kind of pastiche of West African folklore. Directed by Michel Ocelot in France, it features a boy named Kirikou (a kid that just walks out of his mother's womb when she gives birth to him) who goes up against an evil sorceress threatening his village. It had trouble finding a wider release in the USA and UK due to non-sexualized nudity common in West African Societies. Definitely give it watch. It's pacing drags and there are some weird choices in the English dub (like constantly using the word "fetish"), but it is an interesting film which at least based on excursions on TikTok, is fondly remembered by French-speaking parts of Africa.
