Part 2 #onceuponasnowman behind the scenes! As I mentioned in my last post, this idea started wayyyy back in 2012/2013 with some simple doodles...and for years I chipped away at it, on and off in many different forms. A short film, a children’s book, a musical(more to come)...because I truly felt this was an idea worth pursuing, I just had no idea how, when or if it would ever happen. Finally, I saw an opportunity for this little short to have a home, when @disneyplus launched and @disneyanimation was starting to look for new ideas. SO, I pulled together 6-7 years worth of doodles, ideas and writing and put a pitch package together! More to come about pitching and how @sharktooth72 and I partnered up to work on this fun little project!!! What I learnt: Speaking honestly, it was a long road. We all work away at our passion projects, sacrificing weekends, lunch hours, social events etc...without any promise that anything will come of all that hard work. It’s exactly why you need to enjoy the process. If you enjoy the process of creating, the outcome will take care of its self. It might take years and come and go in different forms, but if you’ve enjoyed the process, nothing else matters😊.

Creating #onceuponasnowman has been an unbelievable journey and a true highlight of my career. Every few days I will post some behind the scenes stories, drawings and write about my experience...let’s start from the beginning! Back in 2012 I started my dream job @disneyanimation as an #animation trainee! My very first film at #disney was #frozen working as a crowd animator and eventually animating my first Disney character #olaf under the supervision and mentorships of @mrhyrum !!! When I started animating on Frozen, #letitgo was being created...it was magical to witness it coming to life. I remember @chadsellz beautifully animating #elsa making #olaf ...creating life for the first time...and then, she just walks away and continues singing. At that exact moment, I knew there was an origin story, beginning during Let it Go and connecting 20 minutes later to where Olaf walks into all of our lives and gets his carrot nose. I got out my pen and paper and just started writing, doodling and dreaming up a story. These are the original sketches from early 2013...it’s so hard for me to believe that 7 years later, I would have the privilege of bringing this little story to life with @sharktooth72 and all the amazing talents @disneyanimation . Lesson: Keep dreaming...do it because your passionate about the idea, because you believe in the idea and maybe...just maybe (sometimes even 7 years later) the opportunity might arise to bring that dream to life😊. #disney #disneyanimation #disneyplus #disneyfrozen #frozen #frozen2 #olafshorts #olafshort #movie #shortfilm #short #video #sketches #doodles #writing #ideas #passion #lol #love #funny #inspiration #creativity #create #pen #paper https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0KtDujHva/?igshid=1imqoq02z05km

Can anyone guess which #2d animated shot this is from in #frozen2 ? Inspired by @sharktooth72 amazing storyboards, a true collaboration between @snowmation @borismaras Bert Klein, @bibbiddee , multiple departments and myself! This is a final key I did for Bert who did the beautiful 2d animation in this shot, with wonderful clean up from Rachel Bibb and final CG animation done by Alex Snow. Collaborations like this, with these wonderfully talented people creates such a fun, creative and exciting place to work @disneyanimation ❤️😊 I miss being in the same room with you all!!! #olaf #frozen2 #2danimation #animation #collaboration #art #design #painting #paint #frozen #drawing #drawings #draw #inspiration #inspire #teamwork #illustration #shadow #joshgad #funny #lol #laugh #song #whenimolder https://www.instagram.com/p/CGbbCWqDSS_/?igshid=bkpf5lgtcd3p
