As a kid, my first Lego Set was the 1998 Insectoids 6817 Beta Buzzer.
I used pieces from multiple sets to build my own Lego Transformer creations and made my first stop motion animation using my dad's camcorder.
Since then, I've taught myself to use digital animation tools to explore Digital Modeling, Animation, and Rendering (Bricklink Stud.io & Blender), Motion Capture (XBOX 360 Kinect), and video game development (Unity).
