My name is Tomas Medina. I love to
create videos. My favorite things to create are animations. I was exposed to
animation from growing up watching various cartoons since childhood. I have
tried my hand at multiple forms of animation, including two dimensional, three
dimensional computer graphics, and stop motion.
I like animation because it is such
a unique form of storytelling. You can create anything, so long as you can imagine it. Anything is possible. I
can make things as colorful and outlandish as I desire. All emotions that my
work would convey in live action are amplified in animation. I have grown quite
fond of that control. Every one of my animations is a separate universe and a
story waiting to be told. I also like the idea that it is something that must
be learned. Not many people can animate and I feel special knowing that I am
one of them. The best pride I feel is when I show my work to others.
A lot of my stories usually center on
friends going on adventures together, an idea that I got from the film “Stand
By Me”. I really like to explore this sort of premise because it reminds me of
the time that I used to spend with my friends. It invokes a sort of nostalgia. I
also like to include humor and some fantasy elements in otherwise realistic settings.
That’s the beauty of animation. Something crazy like that makes sense. There’s
no such thing as wrong or right.
