2024 was quite a year. I’ve done it all: VFX, 2D, editing, simulations… but I had strayed a bit from my original works, which were all character animations.

To go back to my roots, I decided I’d animate Mariya Takeuchi’s most famous picture: her iconic smile from “Sweetest Music”. This was a quick project, and one of the first I recorded for my new 3D content creation on Instagram and TikTok. Felt like a homecoming, really.
