What has been your favorite class at COA? Why?
I really enjoyed animation 1 and 2. In animation I can create whatever I want to. There are no limits. Sometimes I would wake up at night with a great idea for a scene. And of course the best part is when they come alive on the screen.

What was your favorite project at COA? Why?
