I needed to update the GemGfx Animation Studios reel so I decided to do something a little different.
I started teaching myself 2d animation in 2014 and we released the first trailer for Celflux in 2016. It wasn't very good, but we loved it. In Feb 2021 we released the trailer for Jumbie. The work I did for Jumbie is a hundred times better than the first Celflux trailer. It's not perfect, but it is the best work I have done... so far. It is by no means the best work I will ever do. One day I'll create something that will make the Jumbie trailer look like the first Celflux trailer.
Independent creators look at their work from two perspectives. On the one hand, you find joy in what you have created no matter how good or bad it is. While at the very same time you recognize and acknowledge that you have to strive to do better. So I still have a whole lot to learn and a long way to go but I can be happy with how far I've come. Keep pursuing your dreams.
