I Will Romance Every Character In Hades 2, But Under Duress - Aftermath

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.
Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

🎥 A peek at some of the NPCs I animated for Wildgate!
Lots of prototyping went into these and they were such a blast to bring to life. Every animation was a chance to push style and personality to make combat fun and make the world feel more alive.
