Turning 2D into 3D, frame by frame
Vision
Should this thing continue and develop onward, my animations and ability to animate traditionally could lead to further futures that I do not find very conceivable at the moment. For now, my animations are just demonstrations that I have shown you and I as evidence that I can animate traditionally.

What’s with the Name?
One summer, just before a trip to China, I had apparently recalled a memory of using simple software for making animations in middle school. Perhaps I was feeling nostalgic when recalling that memory. The software was called Pencil2D, nevermind the adjustment to iOS on the old school Mac monitor. I remember the simple animations that I had made during that year. Well, good riddance to the rules and criteria that vanished from the atmosphere of animation as soon as I had graduated far from those memories. I was approaching the start of my second year in college – really just waiting in the summer before that start – but that was when I decided to download Pencil2D for myself and not for homework. I gave the software a try and had come up with several hasty yet effortful animations, one of which had been mustered during my time during that year in China.
Thus far, these animations and my ability to make such animations has helped my path into taking a place as one of the instructors at the Student Innovation Idea Labs; the colloquial term and abbreviation for the four-word name is SIIL. My workshop is listed on their Workshops tab, should you want to view it out of anything, perhaps general curiosity. Then abruptly – we acted as if we hadn’t clearly seen seen it coming – quite a year showed up. I held a few workshops at the SIIL Maker Studio in March of that year and then the world hunkered into a lockdown in an atmospheric experience with an unprecedented impression of recent decades. The year I am referring to is the world famous 2020, the start of an interesting and edgy darkish age. But voice tone aside, at the bottom of this page is how you can contact me or reach the webpage of my workshop at the SIIL Maker Studio.
Plus, you might ask, why “Animaker”? A friend of mine thought he made up that name perfectly for the theme of my workshop (given that I am an instructor for the Maker Studio at SIIL), but the unfortunate coincidence was that the name was already taken by a company software that seemed to presumably already be successful – and yet their software wasn’t for traditional animation.
