Hey guys! I'm looking for anyone willing to volunteer some time to help rough animate shots for my senior thesis, Hasta La Raiz (you can find the animatic pinned to my profile). This film highlights the cycle of colonialism in Mexico, and how we as a society must join together to break it; a message that has become vital as Hispanic communities come under attack in the U.S. You can DM me or comment on this post if this interests you! Background by Paisley Silveira
Concept work for my senior thesis “Hasta La Raíz” (To The Root). The style for the opening scene will be based on the Florentine Codex, with their use of ink and watercolors.
I hope to imbue the resiliency of my ancestors into this final project ❤️

CALL FOR HEARTS: Hey guys! I’m currently looking folks in the greater community to create red hearts (anatomical or stylized) to be featured in my thesis film “Hasta La Raíz”. The short film contains a call to end colonial violence, including what we are currently watching happening to our Hispanic community in the U.S. If this interests you, please consider volunteering! I’d love to credit you 🥰
Another sneak peak at my animated thesis, Hasta La Raíz!

Day 1: Favorite archeological piece
I don't currently have a favorite archeological piece- BUT I'm currently obsessed with jade and Mayan burial masks. Thanks @macarro.nii for making this event!

The embodiment of colonialism for my thesis film. It’s features are an exaggeration of Spanish Conquistador armor and my favorite painting of Orozco. I use green here as a symbol of greed and sickness.
