its just richard horvitz again

its funny until it happens to you

someday they'll be real

The stuff you make is more than okay, I think it's incredible! I'm sorry you're experiencing so much self doubt, I've been having similar problems with my own are lately. But know that whatever might seem mundane to you can be inspiring to others. I know for certain that your work always inspires me. And honestly I think the stuff you produce is of great quality! I've taken stopmotion classes and stuff and your stuff looks honestly just as good as anything I've scene made in a fancy college studio. The methods you have work for you, and you create such charming animations, you should really be proud of yourself.

your animations are so beautiful and inspiring, its amazing the kind of stuff you can pull off with an at home studio

i wish your stuff had more attention its clear you put so much love and time into all of this

Thanks. I was depressed for a time thinking my animations aren't real animations because they are so simple and don't involve a bunch of fancy computer tools I have no idea how to use, or even the tools that are used in the other kinds of animation. All I do is take pictures and lately, I've had trouble even doing that even though it is so simple and lazy. But then I realized a few days ago, that no matter how I make my animations they are still animations and I do them the way I've figured out and I'm able to tell similar stories and make similar effects to everyone else's real animations. So what I make is ok. It's just different. Sorry it took so long for me to figure that out.

I'm finally releasing my thesis film Gnosis to the public. It was completed and aired May 2nd 2023 at the Central Michigan University Animation Showcase, but I've had the video unlisted for a while as it circulated through other film festivals. Please enjoy a year's worth of labor and love I endeavored on all on my own.

Gnosis is a reinterpretation of the seven days of creation through the lens of the metaphysical artist trying to reconnect with their art. It is a mixed medium film filled with experiments in stop motion and digital compositing. Each day presents a new dimension of creativity to explore, and to seek further understanding of the self.
